Laptop and Hotspot Checkout Update!
This is an exciting time for us and our community! We have laptop and hotspot kits available for check out to our community. We understand access to reliable internet and computers is vital to helping our community with workforce and educational activities.
Pendleton County Public Library has been awarded a grant from The Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives (KDLA), an agency of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet (EWDC) for laptop and hotspot lending programs focused on helping Kentucky residents with workforce and educational activities.
The Workforce Grant will cover the costs for 5 kits consisting of a computer laptop and Wi-Fi hotspot, as well as funding for up to two years of hotspot service for each library.
Funding for the grant came from the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ (ILMS) Grants to States Program, the largest source of federal funding support for library services in the United States.
“KDLA is pleased to assist these communities, many of which were struggling economically before the additional burdens levied by COVID-19, through this hotspot/laptop lending project. Residents of these communities will now, with the assistance of their local libraries, have the opportunity to search for employment, apply for jobs, participate in online education, and participate in community activities,” said Terry Manuel, commissioner of KDLA, state librarian, and archives and records
administrator.
