Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 18BCC000035 to recognize $8000 in grant revenue from the State Library of North Carolina.
Durham County Library has been awarded the LSTA EZ Edge grant specifically to purchase hardware that will make the Library's public computers accessible to customers with motor and dexterity impairments. Edge is a project from the Urban Libraries Council to help public libraries better serve their communities through improved public technology services. The State Library of North Carolina offers the LSTA EZ Edge grants to public libraries that have completed the Edge assessment to meet the public access technology needs identified in their Edge technology action plans.
