Look what’s new at the Nokomis Public Library
Through the Illinois State Library, the Nokomis Public Library received a grant from funds supplied by the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and Library Services Technology Act (LSTA), both from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The Nokomis Public Library has purchased six laptops, six chrome books, eleven hotspots, headphones and microphones for patron checkout.
The patron must be at least 18 years of age to borrow these items.
The new items will give you a chance to have Internet service at your own home or office, plus an updated device to use. They may be used for work, school, or entertainment. You will be able to use for Zoom meeting, virtual interviews or doctor visits. The Nokomis Public Library hopes to narrow the digital divide for their community with this equipment.

https://www.seniorcare.com/scholarship/ 
SeniorCare.com continues to bring more awareness to the key issues we face as an aging population. For the 8th consecutive year, we will be awarding an annual college scholarship to an individual that best demonstrates to us why "Aging Matters" to them. A $1500 scholarship will be given annually to a selected college student that currently cares for an aging loved one, works within the senior community, or intends to pursue a career that will have an impact on the elder population. Any existing student (or incoming freshman), in good academic standing, at a 2 or 4 year accredited college can apply for this scholarship. The recipient will demonstrate a unique and admirable understanding and desire to show us that "Aging Matters" to them.
