The Kapuskasing Public Library has upgraded its computer lab thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Library chief executive officer Julie Latimer says the $13,300 grant was used to buy four new computers, headsets, and mini-music keyboards to help people be creative instead of just checking social media.
“They can play games, they can create games, they can do artistic endevours,” she said. “They can start drawing they can build 3D models with the programs that are on there.“
Latimer says the library will be adding a history section to each computer.
“People will be able to browse versions of local history books and documents, school year books all editions of the spruce log magazine and the Kimberly Clark magazine cooperation,” she said.
Latimer says the new computers will provide a more creative outlet for people, including the ability to create video games and even write music.
