Library Receives 2 Grants to Help with Technology
Posted by fcpltech on July 27, 2010
The Frankfort Library recently received 2 grants to aid in the addition of new equipment at the library.
The first grant is through the USDA-Rural Development Office under the Community Facilities Grant Program, with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and was for a total of $19,640.00. The funding from the USDA will provide a portion of the cost of various Library needs, such as PCs, laptops, printers, task chairs, lighting, and an electrical service panel upgrade for the Carnegie Building.
The Library also received an LSTA (Library Services & Technology Act) grant through the IMLS (Institute for Museum & Library Services) administered by the Indiana State Library. The grant goes towards the purchase of 5 laptop computers for teen use in the library. Teens will be able to check out the laptops with their library cards for use within the library. The laptops will also be utilized to work with Digi-Dock™, our mobile digital media lab.
Keep looking for new and exciting changes in the library!
