The Bruce County Public Library has received a monetary donation to buy 10 new iPads and cases.
The library says the donation came nuclear consulting specialists, NPX, who have worked on a number of local fundraising and awareness campaigns.
The iPads will be distributed to other library branches to be used for instruction and demonstration purposes, as well as for a new program under development geared to introduce seniors to technology.
The library says their Digital Initiatives Coordinator Jeremy Clark recognized the need for new equipment at the library branches.
“The iPads are a key part of the library’s mission to support digital learning experiences for residents of all ages, both in the library and throughout the community. These tablets are used with the library coding and robotics kits as well as to offer support to people needing a hand using their own devices or the library’s digital collections,” says Clark.
The library says the new, up-to-date technology will ensure the library can effectively support learning and help meet the goal of being a digital community facilitator, which was further outlined in their 2022-2025 Strategic Plan.
NPX Project Manager Alec Holla adds, “NPX is proud to be a part of this community and happy to give back to its residents. The libraries are very important community hubs in Bruce County and the mission of digital learning fits in well with out company vision. We are excited to see the various uses that Bruce County Public Libraries has planned for these iPads come to life and we look forward to supporting them further in the future.”
