Time? Yes, of course. So um, connect Arizona is a project of the State Library, it is funded through our IMLS funding. And we provide digital navigation services to anyone across the state, the people who do the work are all remote. And so they also are all over the state, which is pretty awesome. Because they really do get to know both the statewide resources of the libraries as well as their local resources. And right now we're looking, we kind of have a set number of hours that we're trying to fill. So it's not necessarily a certain number of positions, but it kind of depends on what people are available to to work. But it will likely be either a 10 hour a week position or a 20 hour a week position. So it fits into other work. Most of our folks either do this work just this work or also work for our libraries. However, that's not necessarily the only type of person that we'd be interested in hiring. And so basically, what these folks do is they take calls from clients all over the state who need help, either doing tech troubleshooting, or accessing resources online to the library. They do a lot of help with folks who are applying for ACP and other government subsidies. So we help them you know, with with the process for that, you know, a lot of folks who are applying for these don't have the skills to go online and fill out a form. And so really, it's it's that aspect of it that we're able to help with. We also around Affordable Internet, and devices that will fit their needs. Really it's a one stop shop for all of that. We also have access through the Connect Arizona site to various learning platforms, including everything that the libraries offer, of course, but also Northstar digital literacy. And so even if folks don't need don't need that hands holding type of repeated interaction from the digital navigators, they can also use the site to, to do self guided learning as well. And so the job is basically, you know, answering calls as they come in and researching solutions for, for the folks who are calling, doing that, troubleshooting, and really building relationships with people, that's really key to the digital navigator model, you know, we are they're not just you know, a call center, you know, that you only call in once, and you never talk to that person again. But really, we have a lot of folks who call in, you know, week after week asking for a specific navigator, because they've built that relationship with them. So it's really a great, a great way to approach digital inclusion. And so, to that end, we are looking to hire a couple more folks, you know, it's going to be, obviously, basic to intermediate troubleshooting, and digital literacy skill building. And so you have to be at that level yourself, of course, and able to, to help folks navigate, you know, it's really kind of, you know, it changes with every customer. So it's not like there's a standard, you know, answer that we give or anything like that. So just being able to really figure out what the client's need is, is super important. And so, the contact, you know, for folks to submit resumes to will be Meghan, my supervisor at the State Library. And then you know, the, the interview process will happen after the position closes. And depending on how many applicants we get, sometimes we extend these, but right now it's set to expire on the 30th of November. So if you know anyone who's looking for some additional part time, work, or maybe you know, a student or something like that, that would have those tech skills, and just need, you know, a little bit of a buffer for for position, this would be a great thing for them. So I will leave all of the other fun updates to other folks on my team, who will be around to answer your questions on Monday. Thank you.
