Decorah Library earns grant

Decorah Public Library is one of only 100 public libraries nationwide awarded funding by the Public Library Association (PLA) to increase digital literacy. The grant supports public libraries in their work of improving basic digital skills among families and communities.

Decorah Public Library’s $5,000 grant-funded initiative will focus on targeted outreach and training for seniors and users with limited experience to improve basic digital skills and safety. The resources provided will help participants maintain independence, access information easily, and stay connected with family and friends. The Library will host a variety of workshops both on site and at select outreach locations; workshop details will be shared at a later date.

Decorah Public Library Director Kristin Torresdal said, “The DPL is proud to be at the forefront of boosting digital literacy skills and bridging the digital divide in our community. Thanks to this successful grant application submitted by library staff, more learners in our county will get connected to vital digital literacy skills and technology resources.”
