ICfL and Idaho Public Television are partnering to make the Next Avenue online resource available and customized for Idaho users.  This website is rich with current news articles and blogs, videos from public television, and a spot to highlight public library programs and events in Idaho that will be of interest to this audience.

• Health and well-being
• Money and security
• Work and purpose
• Living and learning
• Caregiving

Through our partnership with Idaho PTV, ICfL will encourage Idahoans to go to their local public library for additional useful resources and to use the public access computers and free wi-fi access to broadband Internet to access Next Avenue. ICfL's BTOP-funded "online @ your library" project is funding spots that will appear on statewide commercial television and radio. In addition, IdahoPTV is airing the spots on all four of their channels and providing additional public information with the "go to your library" message. 

Next Avenue is accessible from LiLI.org as well as from the Idaho PTV website.
