(INDIANAPOLIS) - The Indiana State Library is one of 14 state library agencies selected to receive resources, training, and support through NASA@ My Library, a STEM education initiative that will increase and enhance STEM learning opportunities for library patrons throughout the nation.
NASA@ My Library strives to engage diverse communities in STEM learning, including communities that are underrepresented in STEM fields. The educational support materials and outreach opportunities provided are part of the STAR Library Network, a hands-on learning program for libraries and their communities.
Over a span of 12 months, this grant will support the Indiana State Library's mission to support public libraries in Indiana via enhancing professional development, enriching library experiences and providing hands-on activities, such as providing copies of two different NASA@ My Library earth and space science kits to public libraries. "The NASA@ My Library program advances public libraries as community centers and critical hubs for lifelong learning," said Project Director Paul Dusenbery.
Support comes from NASA's Science Mission Directorate and key partners include the Space Science Institute and its National Center for Interactive Learning, the American Library Association, Cornerstones of Science and the Lunar and Planetary Institute.
Please contact Kara Cleveland, Professional Development Office supervisor at the Indiana State Library, with any questions regarding the state library's participation in the program.
