Empowering Communities: Digital Navigators Connect Hudson Valley Libraries and Technology

Several Mid-Hudson libraries, including Kingston Library, are part of the “Digital Navigators of the Hudson Valley” program. The program offers free technological assistance to those in need, with trained guides called digital navigators working in member libraries to provide support with various tasks.

The Kingston Library’s new temporary location at 61 Crown St. opened on October 30, 2023. Digital navigators are available to assist with using electronic devices, finding free or low-cost internet service, completing online job applications, applying for services, accessing educational resources, signing up for free phone programs, and managing online bill payments.

In Ulster County, five libraries are participating in the program: Kingston Library, Elting Memorial Library, Plattekill Library, Town of Ulster Public Library, and Woodstock Public Library. Additionally, digital navigators are available in Dutchess County at Red Hook Library. For a comprehensive list of libraries and organizations offering digital navigators in the region, individuals can visit hvconnected.org.
