Grant Overview

Target Outcomes in South Carolina

South Carolina aims to raise third-grade reading proficiency from 52 percent to 62 percent by 2028 through expanded technology access in public library reading programs. The refurbished computer grant targets libraries operating in the 14 counties where child poverty exceeds 28 percent and broadband subscriptions fall below 65 percent of households. Expected outcomes include a 15 percent increase in program attendance and measurable gains in phonics assessment scores among participants aged 5 to 9.

These outcomes matter because South Carolina's coastal and upstate regions show persistent gaps between urban Charleston County (61 percent proficiency) and rural Allendale and Dillon counties (under 40 percent). The state's economy, anchored in manufacturing and tourism, requires a workforce with stronger foundational literacy. Without intervention, projected annual losses in lifetime earnings for the current cohort exceed $1.8 billion.

Implementation requires libraries to integrate the 100 units into existing summer and after-school reading cohorts serving at least 400 children per site. Devices must support offline reading applications that align with the state's Read to Succeed curriculum. Quarterly progress reports track device utilization rates and pre-post assessment results.

Unlike Georgia programs, South Carolina applications must document coordination with the state's 46 school districts to avoid duplication of hardware already allocated through K-12 bond measures. Geographic anchors include the I-95 corridor counties, where seasonal tourism employment creates fluctuating family schedules that library programs must accommodate. Demographic data show 27 percent of children under 18 live in single-parent households, increasing reliance on extended library hours supported by reliable computing resources.
