FINAL STANDINGS Points for week 13.

The Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library received a grant of $106,661 from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

"The Library will use the $106,661 grant to purchase and install 49 computers in the computer rooms, as well as equipment and software for those computers.....The Stow-Munroe Falls grant is part of a $5.7 million Knight Foundation initiative benefiting library users in 20 communities across the United States. The effort reinforces the sweeping recommendations of the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy....Libraries are the greatest providers of free Internet - offering residents access to critical news and information they need to make decisions about their lives....In a report issued earlier this year, the Commission asserted that democracy in America is threatened by the lack of equal access to quality information. Funding public libraries, as centers of digital and media training, is one key to filling the gaps" The report is available at www.knightcomm.org.
