SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Public Library Foundation has received a donation from Rich Harvest Farms to provide new technology for the library’s computer lab and teen department, according to a news release.

The donation, valued at approximately $19,000, will provide for new computers, monitors and additional hardware and software elements needed to bring the lab up to date.

The Rich family provided the initial funding for the technology lab in honor of the late Janice Katherine Rich, an aspiring teacher and lover of culture and education. The lab officially opened with the library in 2009 as the Janice Katherine Rich Technology Learning Center and is dedicated to community learning, the release stated.

Representatives from the Rich family toured the library and learned about the costs, needs and upgrades needed that would benefit the community prior to making the donation, the release stated.

The new equipment is set to arrive shortly, and includes a complete set of computers for the adult and teen departments, with upgrades to software and hardware designed to serve today’s needs, the release stated.
