South Sioux City Library Launches Into 21st Century

One hometown library launches into the 21st century. The South Sioux City Public Library has 12 new computers, thanks in part to local donors and a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Patrons now have access to Microsoft Office, they’ll be able to burn CD’s and DVD’s, and even save programs and documents to flash drives. It’s new technology, helping Siouxland prepare for a digital age. “Almost everything is going online, income tax forms pretty much are going to be online from now on, you’re going to have to download your own form. This may be the last year that we actually get a print copy of an income tax form. Also, all those social services, food stamps, all those types of programs will all be converted over to online,” says David Mixdorf, Director of the South Sioux City Public Library. The library also received grants for other upgrades, including 10 new laptops.
