Excerpt: The library also is the recipient of the Gates Foundation Grant. In 2010, the library will receive $1,950 from Gates. Along with a required partial match of $650 by the Friends of the Colby Public Library, $2,600 worth of patron computer equipment will be added. The second phase of the program, in 2011, will provide the library with Gates Foundation funding of $1,300 and matching funding of $1,300 by the Friends. Requirements of the grant are that at least two computers for patron use will be purchased, and other auxiliary computer supplies will be put in place with the remaining funds.
