NEWBERRY, FL- The Newberry Branch Library of the Alachua County Library District (ACLD) received a $4000.00 Community Libraries in Caring Grant from the Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services.
Discussions within the Newberry community revealed children in elementary & middle school did not have adequate availability of computers after school. While, students were encouraged to use computers, the majority of students living in homes without the resources to purchase personal computers often fell behind, due to a lack of hands on experience.
