If approved by the State Library of NC, the library will be responsible to match the grant amount of$9,750 with 25% for a total budget impact of$3,250 in the FY 2020-2021. The Lee County Library auditorium hosts a variety of events each month for a broad range of patrons and is currently lacking the audio/visual infrastructure to support them properly. This project will provide new systems to accommodate larger audiences and more advanced programming. There will be a sound system installed, including microphones, control board, and speakers. The library will upgrade the video projection system with a projector, player and screen. A new portable SMART Board will also be purchased for mobile programs. Library staff will install these systems and integrate them into the current structure of the room.
