Join New Mexico in celebrating
National Digital Inclusion Week October 4-10, 2026
by supporting the “Follow the Light” campaign!
We are working collaboratively to launch a coordinated outreach and reading campaign to educate and inspire our communities about the work and wonder of Fiber Optics! More than 500 “Follow the Light” books will be read by volunteers and distributed to libraries, schools, and agencies across the state during National Digital Inclusion Week in October 2026.

Meet the Book That Makes Fiber Optics Fun!
This simple but inspiring STEM adventure shows how fiber optics light up our world. Meet the Author in New Mexico in October! This book was created by a broadband engineer and mom named Alli Bone. For updates on her visit to New Mexico in October 2026, come back to this page to track her schedule of outreach events where you can meet the author in person! Get Involved! You can Donate, Sponsor, Volunteer, and help Promote the project! |
