Editing Free Library of Philadelphia (section)

===Digital services===

The Free Library's digital offerings include nearly 300,000 streaming or downloadable ebooks; 1,000 public computers; 1,700-plus author event podcasts; 150 online databases; daily homework and computer literacy classes online; Hot Spot community computer training centers; and the roving Techmobile.

====Hot Spots initiative====

In March 2011, the library launched Free Library Hot Spots, placing new computer labs and computer trainers in existing community centers in low-income areas of the city. The initiative was funded by the [[John S. and James L. Knight Foundation]] and the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program.  Each Hot Spot provides computers, internet access, printers, and a small selection of Free Library materials. (These are in addition to the 650 public-access computers and free WiFi throughout the Free Library's 54 branches.)

In April 2012, the Free Library added The Techmobile, a Hot Spot on Wheels, which brings service to neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia.<ref>{{cite web |title=Free Library Hot Spots |url=https://libwww.freelibrary.org/hotspots/ |website=Free Library of Philadelphia |access-date=February 8, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://libwww.freelibrary.org/blog/post/1516 |title=Techmobile Launches Today! |author=Joel N |date=April 12, 2012 |website=Free Library of Philadelphia |access-date=February 8, 2022}}</ref> The Techmobile has six public laptops.
