Some 2007-2010 public access <br />computers are out of order which results in lower service numbers. After the downturn in the economy <br />in 2008, county funding to the library was reduced. Maximizing the community's access to technology <br />equipment by this purchase of six new computers allowing access to resources and services will make <br />for a stronger community. The community needs to be able to look for jobs, write resumes, and <br />students need to do research. Bridging the digital divide for residents who do not own a computer or do <br />not have access to the internet will improve their daily lives and meet their needs. <br />
