[ISLMA-Share] Kajeet hotspots

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

To anyone who checks these out:

How long is the loan period for the hotspots, and how many do you have to
loan out? I have heard some are as long as a semester or a year. How does
that work when you have a larger population of families who may need one?

Thanks!
