LSTA Grants

I am so pleased to announce that KPL was awarded LSTA funding for all 3 grant applications this year. 
Kenosha Connects will provide kits of mobile hot spots and electronic devices to check out to our patrons with no home internet access. Award amount: $15,928 
A second grant provides $12,000 to help pay the costs of merging into the SHARE catalog.
The third award supports purchase of digital resources. Award amount: $9,000

Total award: $36,928

We also won a $16,710 joint grant with Lakeshores Library System to provide all member libraries with Digital Creation kits for public programming.

Thanks to Lin, Joe, Max and Brent for taking on the Kenosha Connects project and to Lin for her part in securing these funds.
