Seventy-seven million Americans age 14 or older---equivalent to one-third of our population---use public library computers or wireless networks according to a new study funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation titled: Opportunity for All: How the American Public Benefits from Internet Access in U.S. Libraries.
Of this group, 40% search for jobs and fill out applications, 37% research health issues for themselves or their families, and 42% find help with educational research or completing homework assignments. Another key finding identifies low-income adults as more likely to rely on the public library as their sole access to computers and the Internet than any other group. The executive summary provides highlights of the findings.

Thanks to our Devon Elementary 3rd Grade Partners!

The 3rd grade at Devon Elementary raised nearly $1,320 during their read-a-thon earlier this year and donated it to the library during their annual spring visit in May. On behalf of the library staff, the Board of Trustees, and the entire community we thank the 3rd grade students for their dedication to reading, learning and the library, and we thank their friends and family members for supporting their efforts.
