Tioga Downs Casino and Resort aims to improve the region and support it in any way possible, as giving back to the community makes it a valuable part of it. The recently announced grant amounts to US$25,692 and it is going to be used for different improvements to the local public library. As it recently became clear, this amount is going to facilitate the purchase of new equipment.
This includes the introduction of new keyboards enhanced for typing in the dark, as well as making the process easier. Desks available at the library will also have to be changed, introducing the innovative height adjustment option, making it possible for people to use them standing upright or for people using wheelchairs.
Along with this investment, software optimizing the daily work at the library will also improve its operation. For the visually impaired locals seeking a better understanding of the information, the library is going to boast text-to-speech high-definition cameras. Tioga Downs is also going to support it with the purchase of sensory toys, further enhancing the experience. The aforementioned amount of money will also improve access to the library.
