Tallassee Community Library gets technology upgrade

(Carmen Rodgers) The Tallassee Community Library recently added six Apple computers, two HP computers, and one AWE children’s learning computer, and a laptop thanks to a LSTA grant.

The Tallassee Community Library has ten new computers that are available to the public at no charge. The computers were funded through a $20,000 Library Service Technology Act (LSTA) grant. The grant came with a 20 percent match, which was funded through the Blount Foundation and other donations.

"The grant's objective was to replace the computers the library received from the Auburn University BTop grant in 2011.
