Thanks to a generous grant from the Nixa Community Foundation, CCL will soon begin offering technology courses at the Nixa Community Center. The library currently offers basic computer classes for all Christian County residents in the library meeting room each month.
The grant provides funds for the library to purchase a multiple laptop carrying case to easily transport computers to teaching sites like the Center, a portable projector, and a video camera to record classes so library patrons who can’t come to classes may view them online.
“Until we can secure voter approval to make library facilities more accessible to all county residents, our focus is on finding the time and resources to take our services out into the community ,” said library Technology Assistant Katy Pattison. “We’re very grateful to the Nixa Community Foundation for this opportunity.”
Classes will begin in Nixa in February 2012, and eventually expand to other locations in the county.
