Val Foster with the Hastings Memorial Library came and spoke to us about having communication and information QR codes at businesses and possible on screens that businesses have.  We have also purchased 3 digital picture frames that could be used to show what events are being held in the county with pictures as well. More details to come as we work on this future project.
