The Sandhill Regional Library System's WOW (Web on Wheels) mobile computer lab was funded through a grant from the North Carolina Rural Internet Authority. First time users are the main target for the mobile computer access WOW bus. WOW is outfitted with a satellite dish, Internet server and a dozen laptops. Classes are 1 hour stand-alone sessions and are introductory. SRLS staff teaches classes in all our 5 counties on a first come, first serve basis.

From the Director's Desk
As Director of Libraries, I want to personally
welcome you to the Sandhill Regional Library System Website. A
15 member Library
Board of Trustees with each of our five counties represented by
three members governs our five counties, Anson, Hoke, Montgomery,
Moore and Richmond. In addition, we have local advisory boards
in each of the five counties as advocates for our libraries.
The
Sandhill Regional Library System is in its 42nd year of library
administration for our five counties. SRLS currently has fifteen
libraries, two bookmobiles, and one Web on Wheels Bus delivering
library services to our Sandhill citizens.
The Sandhill Regional
Library System has a history of award winning service. Over the
years, SRLS has won more than 20 State and
National Awards for programs and leadership. Two of our Trustees
have received
the North Carolina Trustee of the Year Award and one was honored
with American Library Association National Honor of Trustee
of the year. Three Senators and a Representative from our area
have won the NC Public Library Association Distinguished Service
Award. The SRLS
Director
won the ALA Public Library Association Allie Beth Martin Award
for Library Excellence.
Awards for service and individuals are possible
only
by continually bringing good people into our library family, on
staff , on
boards and new library customers such as you. SRLS has a
proud tradition
in rural librarianship maintained by constant training of
staff to better serve our communities and by leadership and advocacy
of our Regional Board and recommendations and advice of our
local boards, all of whom advocate for libraries.
We welcome
your presence in our libraries and on our website.
Carol G. Walters, Director
of Libraries
