JACKSON, Tenn. The Jackson-Madison County Library and City of Jackson have applied for an AARP grant to help senior citizens stay connected with friends and family.
The Facebook portal is a tablet with a 10-inch screen, which would allow seniors age 65 and older to make video calls, display photos or listen to music, according to a news release.
Library director Dinah Harris says she hopes to add the Facebook portals to the Jackson-Madison County Library’s “Library of Things.”
“This is such a great way to connect our patrons age 65 and older with their families. The pandemic has definitely made us realize just how important and meaningful it is to stay connected to our loved ones,” Harris said.

The activity will start during spring break and go through to April.
Adult Services Librarian, Shayne Plunk says this activity involves all 50 states and the whole family.
“As a family you are going to read books that are set in those states and you are going to actually mark off which ones you read through,” Plunk said.
Pamphlets with the states can be picked up at the library.
Participants can turn in the pamphlet at the end of April and win a road trip themed gift basket.

JACKSON, Tenn. The Jackson-Madison County Library is hosting a scavenger hunt for students this spring break.
Library staff have made pamphlets with 21 different items to find. All the items on the list can be found outside.
Adult Services Librarian, Shayne Plunk says this list was made so that students can get out and enjoy the outdoors.
“The library has lots of ways to get people away from their screens during spring break, whether that’s coming into the library to check out books or whether that’s encouraging people to get outside and explore,” Plunk said.
Participants who finish the hunt and turn it in to the library will receive a small prize.
