Calhoun's public library will get at least one new "rapid access" computer from the
WV Library Commission, according to librarian Glada Stump.
The Appalachian Regional Commission, through a $50,000 grant, will help purchase
63 computers for 27 rural counties, she said.
The computers will be equipped with Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, Power Point and
internet-supported services, which will be directed toward rapid access. The grant
will also provide hands-on training for library staff.
The computer purchase is part of a join grant for $148,000 funded by the state and
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
