A technology infrastructure improvement is helping Hulbert Community Public Library stay connected and ready to serve! 💻📚 In August 2025, the library was rewired through a Category Two E-Rate LSTA Grant. This behind-the-scenes work provides a stronger foundation for the technology, internet access, and digital services available to the Hulbert community.

We are grateful for this investment in our local library!

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries.
