Bowie Library offering mobile hotspots

Published

on

This week, Bowie Public Library will begin offering mobile WiFi hotspot devices that allow you to connect a mobile-enabled device, such as a laptop, smartphone or tablet to the internet.
The 10 devices will be available for checkout beginning Jan. 25. The hotspots were purchased with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Grant awarded to the library in August 2020.
Bowie Public Library was selected to receive a $24,598 grant to advance digital equity in Bowie/Montague County. Provided by the CARES Act, the funding was used by the library to expand digital inclusion efforts and provide technical support, especially for workforce development and broadband availability.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
