G. Librarian's Report
Director Harrison reviewed the grants received from the state library. So successful in
popularity, Director Harrison discussed the purchase of 6 more wi-fi hotspots made available
through a discount program designed for libraries and non-profits. In addition to being able to
check out these hotspots, some are being used for our wi-fi bookmobile that travels out into the
community every other week to provide wifi access. Director Harrison also reported that
access points have been purchased to increase the range of wifi access inside and outside of
the building.This will help those in need of access during closed hours while also helping those
who may not feel comfortable coming into the library at this time.
Library Manager, Tracie Curtis reported on volunteers and some of the programs that they lead
at the library. Some volunteer run programs in addition to being held in-person are being lead
virtually via Zoom.
