</b>LSTA funding was awarded to seventeen public libraries serving rural populations in Ohio to hire a dedicated technology trainer. The technology trainer is hired as an independent contractor in a full- or part-time capacity, depending on the needs of the
library. The grant period is July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025. Trainers can assist with computer instruction, technology-focused community outreach, one-on-one instruction, and other technology related duties. LSTA funding covers 75% of the project cost for each
library receiving the grant; the remaining 25% must come from a local cash match. The following libraries will receive LSTA funds on a quarterly schedule for the Guiding Ohio Online grant period of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
