The library chose to use its awarded funds to install a custom-made interactive technology table in its children’s section. Designed as an engaging educational resource, the table encourages learning through play and supports the library’s mission of being a safe, welcoming environment for children—especially during the summer months and after school. The Bunker Hill Library is proud to help provide a tool that will not only enhance education but also foster a greater love for reading and learning.

On Monday, May 19th, Madison Communications employees Alex Wood, Senior Accountant, and Lexy Horton visited the Bunker Hill Library to celebrate the grant award and view the newly installed interactive technology table.
