Subscribe to Newsletters from NFLS Guest post and photo submitted by Shannon Stoner, Director at Gillett Public Library  Gillett Public Library received a $600 grant from the Rural Technology Fund (RTF).
The Fund provides technology education resources, scholarships, and assistive technology devices to rural students. Their mission also includes supporting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) extracurricular programs. The RTF supports rural communities that may have fewer opportunities for exposure to technology and funds projects in public schools and libraries. Gillett Public Library Director Shannon Stoner said the library will utilize the funds to support the library’s “Full STEAM Ahead” program for Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. The program takes place at the Gillett Public Library on the fourth Tuesday of every month in the Gillett Library Community Center from 4 to 5 p.m. For more information, please visit gilpubliclibrary.org or call 920-855-6224.

“It is critically important that Wisconsinites across the state have access to high-quality educational resources,” said Department of Administration (DOA) Secretary Joel Brennan. “Many rural libraries and schools often do not have the funds available to invest in their technology infrastructures to ensure that accessibility and the opportunities that come with it.” Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Library will receive $210 in TEACH funds. “The Sister Bay/Liberty Grove branch has a beautiful outdoor garden space where many activities take place during good weather,” said branch manager Christina Johnson. “The new access point provided with TEACH grant will make it possible to have good quality internet which is so important to daily life. We’ve seen a big demand increase over the past few years, and this will expand the WiFi coverage into the garden, bringing more connectivity to our community which is greatly needed.” Below are the headlines from the January 29, 2021 - 📢 Nic News Weekly:
