A large portion of our rural population does not have access to home internet service. These devices are free for patrons to check out for up to one week at a time. There is typically a waiting list to check out these devices. This would normally be a much higher expense but in 2022, Emergency Connectivity Funding was awarded that provided 24 continuous months of hotspot circulation. The grant award amount was reported in last year's 990-EZ submission and the funding ended July 2023. 0 3078 Escambia County Cooperative Library System operates a free Books-By-Mail program. The service was designed with children and homebound individuals residing in our more rural areas in mind. However, this is a free service available to all residents of Escambia County. Over 2,000 books were mailed to patrons this year. Despite the rapidly rising cost of postage, this program remains absolutely free and available to all in our community. 0 10759 Our library provides free online access to over 73,000 ebooks and audiobooks. This year 13,003 items were checked out by Escambia County library patrons. 0 3000 16837 Geri Lynn Albritton Director 25 21070 74 0 Gloria Faye Knowles Chair 1 0 0 0 Carol Fountain Vice-Chair 1 0 0 0 Karen Reynolds Secretary 1 0 0 0 Catherine Tims Trustee 1 0 0 0 Anne Powell Trustee 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Geri Albritton 700 E Church St Atmore AL 36502 2513684130 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 76926 70095 70960 103978 70815 392774 76926 70095 70960 103978 70815 392774 392774 392774 1 1 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Library Vehicle Purchase;20714|Books and Periodicals;19392|Hardware;1475|Office Supplies;1788|Payroll Tax;2068|Bank Fees;170|Conference Training and Travel;1915^Total;47522^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 This amount was withdrawn from a savings account that was established years ago to set funds aside for the purchase of a library vehicle.
