Public Library Partners

In partnership with the Utah State Library Division (USL) and with input from library partners, UEN provides network connectivity and resources to benefit patrons and local communities.


Network Services for Utah Public Libraries

UEN supplies a range of technical and administrative services to help public libraries connect securely and more affordably. Contact us for details.

UEN Connectivity
Public libraries throughout Utah connect to the internet through our world-class network (shown in the linked map), often with cost savings and service through local providers.

Public libraries and other community sites may easily add this international service for students, researchers and others with UEN’s guidance and support.
E-Rate
UEN coordinates applications for reimbursement from all eligible participants in the federal program, Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism (E-Rate). Contact UEN by August 15 each year to participate in this program.
UEN Network Operations Center (NOC)
Internet connections for the UEN network are monitored 24/7 for performance and security, and help is always available at no charge to our partner sites.
Content Filtering
While no solution is guaranteed to block all unsuitable websites and cyberattacks, UEN licenses filtering software for sites on our network to make online learning safer.
