Summary
Under the consent agenda the board accepted a $10,075 IMLS LSTA EZ grant to establish circulating collections of 135 Roku streaming devices and 33 Wi‑Fi hotspots; the project requires a 25% local match ($3,359) from library reinvestment funds.
The board unanimously approved acceptance and appropriation of a $10,075 IMLS Library Services Technology Act (LSTA) EZ grant to create a circulating collection of Roku streaming devices and additional Wi‑Fi hotspots for Catawba County residents.
County staff said the grant aims to address the shift from physical media to streaming and the discontinuation of Hoopla video services by enabling patrons without subscriptions or reliable internet to access streaming and educational content. The project will add 135 Roku devices and 33 Wi‑Fi hotspots for checkout; the grant requires a 25% local match of $3,359 to be provided from library reinvestment funds. The appropriation was made via the consent agenda; Chair Randy Isenhower presented the item as part of the consent motion and it carried unanimously.
