Library Foundation awards $16,578 to Chincoteague and Cape Charles Libraries for IT

The Eastern Shore Public Library Foundation just awarded $16,578 to the Chincoteague Island Library and the Cape Charles Memorial Library to upgrade their public computer access.  Our goal was to help improve the experience that patrons have with IT in both affiliate libraries of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Public Library System.

These awards are the first round of an annual grant program that the Foundation now, using proceeds from our annual appeal letter to meet special needs that aren’t covered by operating budgets. Keeping IT  updated for patrons is a constant challenge and was an obvious first choice for us as we move ahead with Foundation’s mission to support all the Eastern Shore’s public libraries.

Christopher Pote, director of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Public Library system, and his staff are working to identify the focus for our grant cycle for 2025.
