Have you been to the public library in the downtown lately? Below is more information about this public facility. Here is the headline, the byline and an excerpt from the news in the
Herald:
LWB Library CreatElab to Expand
By Cindy Ansell, Children’s Services Librarian.
The Friends of the
Lake Worth Beach Library have
been awarded a grant for
$5060.00 from Healthier
Lake Worth to increase
the equipment available
for use by the students.
“There are many more
students using the Lab today
than when we opened
the Lab almost three years
ago, “ said Kay Ralston,
supervisor of Lake Worth
Beach Public Library’s
CreatElab. The Lab, located
in the children’s
area within the Library,
seeks to offer support
to Lake Worth Beach students.
Students, who possess
library cards, have access
to desktops, laptops, and
tablets to complete homework
assignments or play
computer games.
Currently, the lab has 22
seats, but only has equipment
for 12 students at a
time. According to Ralston,
the Lab serves more than
350 students per month,
requiring students to place
their names on a waiting
list on a daily basis.
The
Friends of the Library
will use the funds to purchase
additional devices
for student use, as well
as a charging station and
other Lab supplies. “We
are thrilled to expand
the Lab,” Ralston stated,
“thanks to the generosity
of Healthier Lake Worth.”
