2019 Library Improvement & Innovation Grant Purchase

 

The Kewaunee Public Library recently purchased a new CleverTouch Plus Interactive White Board with its 2019 Library Improvement & Innovation Grant. The library can use this technology to engage every type of learner; to brainstorm, collaborate, diagram, play games, stream, and involve groups in activities.

"We are hoping to grab the interest and attention of our audiences with its large colorful display," said Library Director Carol Patrina.
