“Residents will benefit greatly from this wonderful grant,” said Ristiina Wigg

“Many local libraries have budgets of less than $50,000 per year
They are struggling to provide the traditional services people love as well as the technology users demand.”
A press release from the Southern Tier Library System said a total of 33 libraries in high-need communities in Steuben
Yates and Allegany counties will use the funds to purchase more than 114 computers

The money will be distributed over two years

Peer said the Savona library will match 25 percent of the grant in the first year and 50 percent of the grant in the second year
“Our patrons are very excited that we will be receiving new updated equipment in the near future,” Peer said
Peer said her library currently has three computers
which were accessed more than 1,800 times last year
She said the computers’ hardware hasn’t been upgraded since 2001
109 library computers were accessed 101,000 times last year
Chemung County library computers were accessed 47,000 times
