Videos on how to make the carr y-out craft creations are posted to the PCPL YouTube Channel. "Art Hour" is also offered at both locations monthly. Here you can pick up a brush or sketch pencil for the first time or rediscover your talents, with the help of Turner. "Between Craft," is a fun craft planned by Turner each month at the Petersburg branch, for ages 10-13 years old. A bit hit at the librar y is the "Adult Craft."

Pike County receives Broadband Ready designation The Indiana Broadband Office has designated Pike County as an official Broad- band Ready Community. The Broadband Ready Communi- ties Program aims to encour- age broadband development throughout the Hoosier State. Lieutenant Governor Su- zanne Crouch said, "Pike County joins a long list of cer- tified Broadband Ready Com- munities. Congratulations to Pike County leaders for investing in your community and residents." The certification sends a signal to the telecommuni- cation industr y that a com- munity is working to reduce barriers to broadband infra- structure investment. "Being designated as a broadband ready communi- ty validates the work of the Pike County Broadband as," said Mark Flint, president of the Pike County Commis- sioners. "Pike County has more than $12 million of broadband in- frastructure being deployed throughout the county. It's critical for Pike County's res- idents and businesses to have quality broadband and this is a great step to have the county fully covered with high-speed broadband." The certification was ap- proved following the Pike County Commissioners adop- tion of a Broadband Ready Community ordinance.
