The B.L.O.C.K. Youth & Teen Center
now has a fully functional computer lab
available to teens at the facility.
The Canton Public Library recently
donated the computers for the lab which
is actively utilizedby area teens.
“We are beyond grateful to the Canton
Public Library for their donation of Dell
Optiplex computers,” said Recreation

thrilled to have more up-to-date technol-
ogy on which to do their homework,
research information and play games.
The kindness of the library spread such
positive morale throughout the entire

business leaders about township opera-
tions and services. While on tour,
Nicholson realized the need for new
equipment at the B.L.O.C.K. and reached
out to Leo Papa, Canton Public Library
information technology department
head, to inquire about the possibility of
the library donating several old comput-
ers slated to be replaced with new mod-
els.
“Sure enough, months later Leo Papa
contactedme andwas able to replace the
whole lab,” saidMortier. “Wewent froma
mixed-match of computers to a fully-
functional computer lab.”
The B.L.O.C.K. Youth & Teen Center,
which stands for Building Leaders Out of
Canton's Kids, is a 3,000 square foot cen-
ter which provides a fun, teen-friendly
environment where students from ages
11-17 can participant in supervised after
school programs, social events, and activ-
ities. The center is located on the third
