SANDERSVILLE ROTARY CLUB 

Technology Equipment for the Public Library

The Sandersville Club purchased and delivered 10 launch pads to the Rosa Tarbutton Library. These educational pads range from preschool reading readiness through fifth grade reading, math at various grade levels, and HS SAT prep. They do not require a Wi-Fi connection, which makes them excellent for households without Wi-Fi. They cannot be used for games, etc. They are checked out of the Library like a book. Over 300 students benefited from this project, including all preschool through high school students in Washington county, plus GED students. Since many students do not have access to additional education opportunities and/or don’t have Wi-Fi, this project allows them to supplement in school education at home. Seven Rotarians participated in the project by communicating with the Library and schools as to which launchpads were most needed. They purchased and delivered launch pads, which were presented at a weekly Rotary club meeting. Rosa Tarbutton from the Library worked with the school system and the Rotary Club to see what launch pads were needed.
