“Check-Out” the Hominy Library.


The 2017 Hominy Library programs theme, Building a Better World, attracted so many patrons it outgrew their existing presentation facility.  Director of Library Services, Jimmie Ratliff, encouraged with his idea to mobilize the programs, shared his goal with the Operation Round-Up® board by submitting a grant application, requesting portable presentation equipment.  George Weston, Operation Round-Up® District 2 Trustee, interviewed Mr. Ratliff, researched the library’s application and determined their request could benefit the 8,982 patrons in their service area and had the potential to increase the library’s community influence.  Through the Operation Round-Up board’s monthly grant review process, the entire 7-member board voted unanimously to approve the grant.

On September 25, 2017, George Weston presented the Hominy Library an ultra-portable, bright white Epson expandable, up to 80 inches, projection screen, an Epson liquid crystal display projector, and two 6’ folding tables.   Mr. Weston was one of the first to hear Jimmie Ratliff say, “plans for the Libraries’ 2018 mobile program year are already underway.  The library has just received a program grant from Oklahoma City ZOOfriends, a project of the Oklahoma Zoological Society.  Our new presentation equipment allows this and future programs to be presented in larger community facilities, for more participation.”

Operation Round-Up® Program
