According to, Dunklin County Library Director JoNell Minton, the computers are a part of an Early Literacy Pilot Project the library is involved with, and are valued at $5,104. The computers are kid friendly with forty top-rated educational software packages, covering seven curricular areas.

"The program is designed to encourage children to learn reading and language skills," Minton said

"All the kids have to do is sit down and play. It is just that easy and there is no training involved for the children."
