The Division manages the State Library and Archives, supports public libraries, directs records management services, and is the designated information resource provider for the state of Florida.
Renae Rountree, Director of Washington County Public Library, created a pilot project in 2015 designed to allow library patrons to check out Internet service.
Rountree’s inspiration for the project came after talking with many patrons about local Internet issues, such as:
Panhandle Library Access Network (PLAN) sponsored Washington WiFi through an innovation grant.
For more details, you can view Rountree’s project presentation (PDF).
Many of these resources and programs are funded under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Florida's LSTA program is administered by the Department of State's Division of Library and Information Services.
