July 27, 1994: The SAILOR Project is launched.

Enoch Pratt Free Library became the first Maryland public library to offer SAILOR, a free Internet access program and statewide public information network for Maryland residents. SAILOR provides access from home or onsite at the library, offering library services such as a statewide intranet connecting Maryland public libraries to each other and the Internet, reference services, educational resources, government agencies and documents, commercial databases, and worldwide library catalog access. Residents can purchase an email account and storage for a small fee. The project was originally funded by Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) grant funds, but due to its success, the Maryland State Legislature now funds SAILOR as part of the State Library Resource Center, along with additional funds from federal and state grants allocated to Maryland Public Libraries.
