New Computers in the Library |
The Fort Lee Public Library has received twelve computers through a grant from the Broadband Technology Opportunity Program (BTOP). The purpose of this grant is to help economic recovery and lower unemployment in the State of New Jersey. The computers provide access to career websites helping users in all aspects of the job search. There are four desktop computers and eight laptop computers. The laptops may be borrowed for use on the library premises only, while a valid New Jersey Driver's License or Non-Driver's ID issued by the New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles is kept by the staff for the duration of the loan.
