Transcript

The Wichita Public Library notice that the Wichita community needed additional Internet access. With the Adopt funding we were able to get 9 solar Weilers benches focusing on areas that were a little to no Internet access. So this is going to reach every Wichitan, whether it's someone who is doing homework or simply entertaining their kids at a park bench. Behind us is one of the three that we put out. As an attest, we've had over 400 unique uses. The adopt grade has been wonderful to allow us to expand. Bench program. We're really excited because the Adopt grant gave us the ability to take an idea that we had and has started to test and really expand it to meet the community. We are absolutely delighted to provide 9 benches thanks to the Kansas Office of Broadband Development and the Capital Project Fund.
