T-Mobile just named 25 more recipients of its Hometown Grant program, marking 200 towns supported throughout the United States since the start of 2021. The initiative is part of the Un-carrier’s greater effort to connect rural areas and empower communities. Carlsbad was selected as one of the recipients of this grant.
This grant will allow the City to renovate the existing Carlsbad Public Library to serve as a multi-purpose space, providing access to public internet, technology resources and digital archive materials as well as a community meeting space for digital literacy, telehealth, and job training.
“The City of Carlsbad will be using its T-Mobile Hometown Grant to enclose an important meeting space at the Carlsbad Public Library,” said Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway. “The meeting room has been named in memory of Bob Scholl, a longtime educator and strong supporter of the library, and will be used by tutors and instructors for generations to expand on literacy options for adults and children. Thank you to T-Mobile for this very generous contribution, which will establish a great legacy in memory of one of Carlsbad’s most outstanding citizens.”

“We are so excited to receive the T-Mobile Hometown Grant funds,” added Sarah jones, Library Director. “This project will bring together several projects that the library has been working on and highlight us as a community heart of the city that is so much more than just books. We are so thankful to T-Mobile for these funds and for the future access it will bring to our community.”
