Barton County Library was awarded $11,873 in grant funds from the Missouri State Library to respond to coronavirus health and safety concerns. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) funds and Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds were awarded to libraries to address digital inclusion and related technical support or to address other efforts that prevent, prepare for and respond to COVID-19.
The Library will use funds to implement a hotspot and laptop-lending program, add e-Materials to our Overdrive collection and upgrade online meeting software. Additionally, the library will replace a network switch that is near obsolescence at our Golden City Branch. Watch for updates about these services on our website, www.bclib.info, and Facebook page.
These projects were supported by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under CARES and LSTA provisions as administered by the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State.

There have been some changes to our library schedule since opening. The new schedule is shown below. We are continuing to limit the number of patrons allowed in open library buildings at any one time, and patrons are still requested to limit their visits to 30 minutes. Library staff and Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the situation and modify the plan as needed. Curbside delivery will continue to be offered if you do not wish to enter the building.
