Millard Oakley Public Library News
September 23, 2022
The Millard Oakley Public Library has recently purchased two solar charging benches. These benches are designed to help our patrons by allowing anyone with a device and a charging cord to recharge their phone, tablet, or other device while they enjoy our free Wi-Fi. These benches are located at the front and the back of our building, are close enough to access our Wi-Fi, and are available day or night. The benches themselves were purchased with grant funds, and Secretary of State Tre Hargett will be here on Thursday, October 6, to present the TOP Grant award to library staff. Please join us at 1:30-2:00 pm in thanking Mr. Hargett for all he has done for our libraries!
