To set up a local area network at the new Lakeside Community Library in Nine Mile Falls. Providing a quality education for all is the backbone of the White Pass School District's Strategic Plan. To help attain this goal, the school libraries will obtain equipment and software that will allow Internet access to their catalogs as well as providing the ability to add URL links to related Web sites. Additional computers for student and staff Internet access in each school library are also included in the project. To be information literate in today's rapidly changing society, patrons must be able to access and manipulate data in a timely manner.
Information literacy is recognized as a critical life skill.
This project pursues technical solutions to service challenges. The project will provide quality equitable, universal access to an isolated, rural community thus expanding opportunities and the ability to use library resources fostering lifelong, independent learning.
