Cloud and CMS Leverage Marshall County Library’s current tech stack (AWS, WordPress, Google Tag Manager, Apache) to offer a turnkey managed hosting and security package for the library’s public website and digital portals. Include proactive patch management, daily backups, performance monitoring, and disaster recovery options to reduce IT workload for a small staff and improve user experience.

Digital Resources Growth There is strong potential to expand digital resources and online programming by partnering with content providers for e-books, audiobooks, streaming media, and online learning platforms that integrate with WordPress and the library catalog. Packages could include licensing, content management, and analytics to demonstrate impact for grant funding.

Community Engagement Programs Position the library as a hub for digital literacy and community programs by offering training workshops, device lending, and on-site IT assistance. This creates cross-sell opportunities for hardware vendors, LMS tools, and e-learning platforms tailored to public libraries.

Security and Compliance Address security, data protection, and compliance needs for a public-facing institution with a small IT team by offering affordable security audits, plugin hardening, MFA enablement, and backup solutions with easy restoration workflows.

Regional Procurement Target regional procurement through the Mississippi Library Commission and adjacent libraries for group licensing, support contracts, and bundled services. Emphasize cost efficiency and scalable solutions suitable for organizations with 11-50 staff.
