HOTSPOTS and LAPTOPS AVAILABLE!

Trimble County Public Library is happy to announce that the library has received a Library Services and Technology Act Grant for approximately $8,500 in technology and software for the year 2021.  The library will be able to provide access to hotspots and laptops for those who are looking to work on their GED, complete a college course or improve their job skills.
​
Starting February 1st, five laptops and hotspots will be available for patrons to check-out and take to the comfort of their own home to work on education and building job skills.  Library staff will help connect them to our Kentuckianna Works representative, Valerie Edgeworth and other online resources for job searching assistance.  We will also help connect patrons to University Skills or JCTC coordinator, Angela Stethen, and other online resources.  
 
Sarah Karns, our Adult Outreach and Program Coordinator, will also be working on coordinating monthly workshops and programs centered on work force development topics such as resume building, interviewing best practices, dressing for success and training and education opportunities.   
 
We would like to thank Terry Manuel, Commissioner and State Librarian, Archivist and Records Administrator, Beth Milburn, KDLA Deputy Commissioner and Lauren Abner, KDLA Technology Consultant, for supporting and advocating for our library through projects such as the LTSA grant!  A special shout out also goes to Juliann Adams for preparing and maintaining equipment needed to make this project successful! We are looking forward to 2021 and implementing this program to help our community through their educational and work related needs!
