Three Broward libraries offering free access to call Haiti, or connect online

Broward County Libraries Division and Broward County Enterprise Technology Services, in partnership with AT&T, are offering the public free Internet and long distance telephone service to contact loved ones in Haiti. Customers are able to place free, 10-minute phone calls to Haiti.

Fifteen phones and an additional 11 computers have been installed in the following libraries:

• North Lauderdale Saraniero Branch, -
• Pompano Beach Branch, -
• Tamarac Branch, -

Study rooms at these libraries have been temporarily converted into information access centers for the program. The program continues through the end of March.

AT&T reports that despite the devastation to Haiti’s infrastructure, 30 to 40 percent of the phone calls are getting through.

Customers can also use free wireless WI-FI or any library computer to access helpful Internet sites including such sites as Haiti.911.com, and other earthquake relief sites.
