This week I received notice that the Library will soon receive a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The purpose of the grant is to improve public access to the Internet in public libraries. All told we will receive $8,500 over the next 2 years.
Three years ago we conducted a Community Use Survey in the Library. At that time we noted that our patrons wanted more PCs and better PCs in their library. I am particularly pleased with the grant for this reason.
In 2009 I hope to add 3 new PCs with large monitors for maximum visibility. For those who are not computer users we are organizing classes for beginners. All of this will be announced in the press and our web page.
