Island Library and School District
This year's grant cycle was highly competitive, with 65 Washington state libraries submitting grant applications representing a total of $2.7 million in requests. Out of these applicants, 16 libraries were awarded a total of $678,000 in grants. The grant money will be used to purchase 7 workstations to be installed in the school libraries and the Senior Services Center for connection to San Juan Island Library resources, to provide a high-speed connection between the Library and the School District, and to provide training on Library resources to users of the new systems.(See photo of workstation and networking hardware purchase above.) Services to be delivered to the school libraries and Senior Services Center through this project include remote catalog access, on-line database searching, and InterLibrary Loan resources. The project is currently underway and will be completed over the coming summer.
