What Are the Roles of CTCs in Building a National Community Service Infrastructure?

Anyone know who made this image?
I’ve taken up a bit of a personal research project and am asking the question of this post on various networks. What are the roles of community technology centers in building a national community service infrastructure? I hope to be able to compile and synthesize a brief report on themes that emerge.
Given the current socioeconomic context in the US and the transition of our government leadership, what role might community technology/media centers, libraries and computer labs play in establishing a stronger national infrastructure? By infrastructure, I mean access to knowledge, information and resources for contributing to the commonwealth of our country. What are the roles of CTCs in building a national community service infrastructure?
