Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) today announced the award of a $10,285 Guiding Ohio Online award to Way Public Library in Perrysburg. The funding is made possible through the federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), administered by the State Library of Ohio with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
This award will allow Way Public Library — Wood County’s first library and a pillar of learning since 1881 — to provide a dedicated technology trainer to serve the digital needs of the community. The trainer will assist with one-on-one tech tutoring, computer classes, and community outreach, helping ensure interested residents, regardless of age or background, can confidently navigate today’s digital world.
“We hired a technology trainer who takes technology training outside our walls. She does some in-house training, but she also goes outside our walls and takes digital literacy to some people that can’t get here,” said Janel Haas, Director of the Way Public Library. “It’s a wonderful, wonderful grant for us to offer that, and we’re super appreciative of it.”
