Washington Public Library Awarded Access and Innovation Grant

Washington Public Library was awarded a $4,080 Access and Innovation Grant through the Missouri Library Association. This grant is awarded to “…enhance, support, and develop library technologies and innovation that improve patrons’ access to library services.”

This Grant will be used to purchase learning technologies for checkout aimed at children. The library will use these funds to purchase 14 Playaway Launchpad Tablets and 20 Playaway Whazoodle! Audio Listening devices. These will be shelved downstairs in the Juvenile Spotlight shelf. These will be available in early 2025.

Thank You to the Missouri Library Association for this award and for helping Washington Public Library reach out with new technologies.
