Patterson Rotary Community Technology Grant
Thanks to the generosity of the Patterson Rotary, the library will receive a $16,000 grant over a two year span, as part of a community partnership to help with the purchase of new public computers and software.
The grant will allow for the expansion of computer classes and programs for both adults and kids, and will significantly impact the library's ability to meet the technology needs of the community.
Thank you Patterson Rotary!
