2006 for a total of over 18,000
child visits. The
Foundation funded this program.

computers and technical/tutoring
assistance to help youths
succeed in their educational

Loop
Hearing
impaired adults can enjoy programs
and attend meetings in the library
community room equipped with
a Foundation-funded hearing loop.

2004, many adults have benefited
from this device.

purchase these materials.
