Library Completes County-Wide Technology Upgrade Thanks to Emporium and Mee Foundations

 

Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library Completes County-Wide Technology Upgrade Thanks to Emporium and Mee Foundations

Emporium, PA — The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is proud to announce the successful completion of a major technology upgrade project, made possible through the generous support of both the Emporium Foundation and the George & Margaret Mee Foundation. With a combined investment of over $32,000, the project has significantly modernized the library’s digital infrastructure and expanded public access to essential technology resources throughout Cameron County. 

The comprehensive upgrade included the replacement of outdated public and staff computers, the installation of a new server and networking hardware, enhanced software for public use, and new equipment for in-library programming. All computers are now compatible with current operating systems and offer patrons access to tools for video conferencing, photo and video editing, and professional document creation

“This transformation has been a game-changer for our library and the community we serve,” said Library Director Yelena Kisler. “Thanks to the Emporium and Mee Foundations, our patrons now have access to fast, modern, and reliable technology that supports everything from job hunting to virtual doctor visits and creative projects. We’ve already seen a surge in usage and overwhelmingly positive feedback.”

In the first quarter following the upgrades, library computer usage rose noticeably, and technical service issues have been drastically reduced. Robert Schauer, the library’s long-time IT specialist who managed the installation, added: “Before the upgrade, we were patching together 10-year-old machines that could barely run basic programs. Now, we have a future-proof system that meets current demands and offers room for growth. It’s a tremendous leap forward.” 

The new equipment includes 16 desktop computers, two laptops, tablets, backup power systems, networking hardware, and a smart TV for programming. Software upgrades feature Microsoft Office Pro Plus, Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop Elements, and more. Throughout the project, the library kept the public informed through three press releases—at the time of funding, during the installation phase, and after the project's completion—highlighting the improvements and inviting the public to explore the new resources. 

Following careful financial management, the library was also able to reallocate remaining grant funds to support additional educational tools and programs, including Microsoft Project/Visio licenses, a telephone system upgrade, a Native American cultural presentation (coming this fall), and a children’s STEM-based “Dino Days” event in partnership with the Carnegie Science Center in 2026. 

Additionally, at the recommendation of the Emporium Foundation, the library has established a Tech Fund specifically designated for the continued maintenance and upgrade of our technology systems. Community members and businesses can now donate or make memorials specifically designated to this Fund. 

“Our goal has always been to enrich lives and expand opportunities through access to information and technology,” Kisler added. “With the support of both foundations, we’ve done just that—and we’re incredibly grateful.”

CC Farmers Market Introduces Lindsey and Ryan Neyman with The Waxed Page

 

Cameron County Farmers Market

We’re excited to welcome Lindsey and Ryan Neyman with The Waxed Page, as new vendors at the Cameron County Farmers Market this weekend! 
Despite juggling full-time jobs and raising a rambunctious toddler, Ryan and Lindsey are also deeply involved in the community — Ryan coaches high school football, Lindsey coaches the band front and runs the local SPCA. Somehow, they have found the time to take over a locally owned business (previously known as The Wax Company) and rebranded it as The Waxed Page, where they handcraft an amazing variety of wax melts, room sprays, foaming hand soaps, and car fresheners, all in fun, seasonal scents.

Their product-making process is just as creative as their lives are busy: each item is made by melting wax, adding vibrant dyes and seasonal scents, then finishing it off with glitter and decorative touches for that extra sparkle.

You’ll find scents for every season, including: 
�☀️ Summer – Banana Mango Smoothie, Pool Day, Watermelon
�🍂 Fall – Pumpkin, Peppermint Mocha
� 🎄 Winter – Christmas-inspired scents coming soon!

While they’ve been selling mainly on Facebook, they’re joining the market for the rest of the season — and looking to grow into more festivals, shows, and online sales.

Make sure to stop by their table this Saturday, August 9, 9am to 12pm at the Emporium Town Square, to smell the magic for yourself and support this creative, community-minded couple as they grow their local small business!
