As part of the NASA@ My Library program, the State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce we are ready to circulate our NASA@ My Library STEM programming kits to public libraries in Ohio. The kits will be available on a first-come first serve basis, with priority given to libraries that serve under-served and underrepresented STEM communities. More information about the contents and to request a kit for your library can be found here<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/nasa-my-library/#About>.

The State library of Ohio is one of fourteen state library agencies selected to receive a 2019 NASA@ My Library grant with resources, training and support, and $5,000 in funding. NASA@ My Library is a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education initiative that will increase and enhance STEM learning opportunities for library patrons throughout the nation.
