The Ocean Springs Public Library, a branch of the Jackson-George Regional Library System, was the recipient of a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant that enabled the funding of a Teen Technology Center. This center, which features a series of new laptop computers in a teen-friendly, appealing environment, has seen much use and enthusiasm with the local youth library customers. This library serves one of the largest school districts in Mississippi, yet until this grant was funded, teen library users had to share computers with the adult library users, making for a long wait for a computer. Certainly, the quick access to these computers has increased access and usage, and made the teens very happy in the process!
