BRUCE COUNTY – On Monday, the Bruce County Public Library (BCPL) announced the addition of 35 Launchpads to its catalogue, which were generously donated by Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO).
Launchpads are family-friendly tablets that offer various educational and recreational early learning content, making them a valuable resource for families and children seeking a safe and cost-free tech experience. These new tablets are designed with 100 per cent security in mind and serve as lendable tech to BCPL patrons.
BCPL is dedicated to supporting Bruce County communities with initiatives that contribute to the advancement and well-being of their patrons. With the ongoing support of local donors, like NWMO, it has consistently been able to go above and beyond for Bruce County residents.
“We are extremely grateful to NWMO for their generosity towards BCPL, including this incredible donation of Launchpads,” said library director, Brooke McLean. “This contribution perfectly aligns with our commitment to being a digital community connector. By providing this new, diverse opportunity for learning, the Launchpads will help enrich patrons’ library experiences.”
“NWMO recognizes the need to increase access to technology and other important resources for the community,” said Nikole Hagerman, NWMO relationship manager, South Bruce. “We are proud to support diverse learning opportunities, especially for local youth.”
The NWMO has actively supported Bruce County Public Library as a significant contributor to their Bookmobile project, donating a hydroponic unit to their Seed Library and purchasing a 3D printer in the fall of 2020.
