The National Digital Equity Center (NDEC) is a 501c3 nonprofit based in Wiscasset, Maine with the majority of staff working remotely. NDEC is committed to closing the Digital Divide in Maine and across the United States. They are proponents of Digital Equity, a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy and economy. Digital equity is necessary for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, and access to essential services. They also advocate for Digital Inclusion which includes Affordable Broadband, Affordable Equipment and Public Computer Access.
Liberty Library has enrolled in the Maine Digital Opportunity Partner Program which began in January of 2026.
