- Closing the "Digital Divide": Building a Public Computing Center Krebeck, Aaron Access to Computers Public Libraries Computer Centers Community Information Services Library Development Program Descriptions Outreach Programs Cost Effectiveness The public computing center offers an economical and environmentally friendly model for providing additional public computer access when and where it is needed. Though not intended to be a replacement for a full-service branch, the public computing center does offer a budget-friendly option for quickly expanding high-demand services into the community. With careful planning and community partnership, Charles County Public Library was able to implement this facility with a total cost of less than $10,000. The public computing center has proven itself to be an inexpensive way to increase community access and to deliver on the library's mission of "Information for Life." (Contains 4 figures.)
