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.

Over $675 billion in federal funds are redistributed every year across the US using Census data, and for every person not counted, Kentucky stands to lose $2,021 per year for ten years. We simply cannot afford to leave money on the table.
#2020Census data will help local government plan for the future and determine where the over $675 billion a year in federal funding goes, for medical services, WIC, child care, public schools, public transit, and low-income housing.
The Census Bureau will start the door-knocking phase of the 2020 Census on August 11 in Kentucky. You can respond online, by phone, or by mail if you haven’t already done so for 3 reasons:
1. Self-response data is most accurate
2. It costs the government a LOT of money to send people door-to-door
3. Due to the current pandemic, you may be wary of answering the door
You still have time to answer the #2020Census before @uscensusbureau comes knocking on doors in August! Self-respond today online (2020census.gov), by phone (844-330-2020), or mail. #CountMeInKY
There’s power in numbers and we need all the strength we can get behind the #2020Census. Our voices are stronger together and when folks are counted, our demands for real change will be heard.
The #2020Census is a tool. Use it. Claim your share of federal funds, political power & representation, and strengthen your community today!
