The Digital Toolbox program provides access to technology, develops digital literacy skills, and reaches community members who face limited or no access to online information resources because they can’t make it to the Library. The Digital Toolbox provides a Windows 10 laptop computer, complete with Microsoft Office suite, a mobile hotspot, a wired mouse, an 8GB flash drive and a carrying case for all the items. The borrower may keep the Digital Toolbox for up to three months. The Library has been able to increase the number of Toolboxes in circulation from ten to 15, thanks to the donation from Paducah Bank.
