Collection Development: Educational Resources

· May 12, 2022 ·

This project enabled the Demopolis Public Library to buy educational resources that helped us meet the needs of children, teens and adults in our community. We used funds to purchase test preparations books for the GED, ACT, GRE, and ASVAB Military Exam. We also purchased a set of DVD’s that help students with study skills and test taking skills. We purchased books that helped our pre-school and school aged children develop early literacy skills. We were able to purchase some non-fiction common core books for children in grades K-8. Having access to and reading non fiction books helps students develop their background knowledge, which accounts for as much as 33% in student achievement. We also purchased eBooks and digital audiobooks for children and adults.

Drone Environmental Assessment Project

· May 12, 2022 ·

Perry County has had several natural disasters, including flooding, tornados and tropical storms. The highway department, along with Perry County EMA, has always been there to clean up the damage and open the roadways.  Having an accurate assessment of the damage is imperative to ensure necessary resources are distributed.  The equipment we intend to purchase will be used to inspect storm damage, bridges, large culverts, and construction projects throughout Perry County.  Having the ability to quickly assess storm damage and the progress of construction projects  will save time, money, and improve the efficiency of the Perry County Highway Department.

Child Abuse Prevention Training & Mandatory Reporter Training

· May 12, 2022 ·

As a result of working with child abuse victims and their families over the last 10 years, the Central Alabama Regional Child Advocacy Center determined that a significant impact could be made on the rampant problem of child abuse by conducting  Mandatory Reporter Trainings and Child Abuse Prevention trainings and events throughout the year. With the help of grant funding from AlaTom RC&D, trainings are offered free of charge to child serving organizations and school systems throughout the region. Pinwheel Garden Plantings (awareness events) are conducted in each county and numerous educational messages and prevention oriented activities are shared with news outlets and on social media, with a special emphasis on the month of April, Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month.
