The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) has recently donated 4 laptops to the Okotoks Public Library. This donation is set to make a significant impact on the library’s mission to serve the diverse needs of its community.
The Okotoks Public Library is more than just a place to borrow books; it’s a vital hub for the community’s growth and development. The library’s mission is to provide a broad range of services and programs tailored to meet the recreational, educational, and professional needs of all its members. From toddlers to seniors, the library aims to be a welcoming space for everyone.
One of the library’s standout features is its commitment to collaboration. They partner with local agencies to offer programs and services specifically designed for newcomers and immigrants. These initiatives help bridge cultural gaps, provide essential information, and create a sense of belonging for those new to the community.
The library also recognizes that not everyone can physically visit the premises. To address this, they extend their outreach services to local senior residences, ensuring that even those who cannot make the journey can still access the library’s wealth of resources.
To enrich the community’s learning experiences, many program facilitators rely on computers to present and share information. Whether it’s a computer class for seniors or a workshop for young adults, technology plays a pivotal role in these educational sessions.
The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is an organization that stands at the forefront of addressing the digital divide in Canada. Our mission is clear: to work with charities across the country and provide refurbished electronics for their programs. This includes laptops, computers, and other essential technology that can be a game-changer for individuals and families facing financial hardship.
Get involved with the Electronic Recycling Association and help work towards a future without e-waste. Invite the ERA to your community cleanup, host an e-waste fundraiser, spend some time volunteering at the ERA, or initiate an e-waste collection at your business.
Consider dropping off your pre-loved electronics to ERA and we will work to donate them to those who need them most!
