State Representative Regan Deering has congratulated the Goose Creek District Library in DeLand for receiving a library tech grant from the Illinois Secretary of State's office.
“Congratulations to the Goose Creek District Library on their library tech grant award from the Illinois Secretary of State,” said Rep. Deering. “This grant is such a great opportunity for small communities like DeLand that need additional help to best serve their area. With this grant award, some technology barriers can be torn down, and the library can better serve the entire community – whether it be students, seniors, or anyone in between. Our libraries are important to communities and grants like this help to keep the doors open and the services modern to keep up with the ever-changing digital world.”
The grants aim to assist libraries with low tax bases relative to their service area populations. Libraries were encouraged to assess technological needs when applying.
Funds from these grants may be used for various technological improvements including purchasing hardware, updating software, expanding internet resources, increasing Wi-Fi capacity, acquiring adaptive technologies for those with disabilities, and other tech-related enhancements.
