Library grant to benefi t
residents with STEM
concepts
The Oregon Trail Library
District has been selected as
one of 300 libraries to par-
ticipate in Libraries Trans-
forming
Communities:
Focus on Small and Rural
Libraries. An American
Library Association initia-
tive, it helps library workers
better serve their small and
rural communities.
The competitive award
comes with a $3,000 grant
that will help the library
incorporate STEM concepts
into reading and activities at
home.
“We are so proud to be
chosen for this amazing
opportunity,” said Kathy
Street, library director. “This
grant will allow our library
to get to know our residents
better and help us build a
happier and healthier com-
munity for our families.”
As part of the grant,
OTLD staff will take an
online course in how to lead
conversations, a skill vital
to library work today. Staff
will then host a conversa-
tion with residents about
the STEM kits and activi-
ties. This will help provide
information possibly for
other grants. Building parent
knowledge and confi dence
in STEM areas is a goal of
the project.
