MARBLE HILL, Mo. (KFVS) - The Bollinger County Library has received a $25,000 grant to expand internet connectivity in rural areas of the county.
Missouri Care Inc., an Anthem company, awarded the library the award to help fill a funding gap not covered by federal money from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Bollinger County Library said the grant will allow them to install larger routers and antennas with continued data before the allotted CARES Act funds expire in June.
