BHCGA Grant

Yeah! The CFPL will receive $30,000 from the Black Hawk County Gaming Association for a portable computer lab. The lab itself will not be portable--the computers will. 24 laptop computers will reside in a cart that can be packed up when not in use, or wheeled to another department. Our plan is to have instructors teach everything from video editing to Microsoft Office to using library databases to searching the internet. We need about $60,000 for the entire project, but the BHCGA grant guarantees that we can do this project, even if we start out with a lesser number of laptops. The classes will be available at no charge, and hopefully will be up and running by the end of the year. Thanks to staff member Mike Dargan for leading this project.
