#FundLibraries 2020
As you may have heard in the news, the White House appears to be moving forward with a two-year budget deal. The agreement currently includes increased or level funding for most domestic programs, including libraries.

Once again, the Senate needs to hear from you <http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/take-action?engagementId=501377&ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxch-wk27NXKGicrhkyIdbZjJjZ4ka-1gZvju3ydonPf3I2_odByCkxX7BE7GywyiSfXqpJn3OTcOmTXXG0Y7gv6TnPLqqcDRKLscniT2qUw0&lp=0> . Take two minutes to remind your senators why they should be funding libraries in your state. Urge them to vote yes on federal library funding <http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/take-action?engagementId=501377&ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxrKY-9cZS6cUrN8AJqbyvNmtw79_SrukL2zB9sOZrhwhe1T3dFnfPZV5NaKlWatQUhiwFNPAGPG65CbRV7IOHa1rWcnhYL-gt_ez9Fw6i4Ms&lp=0> .

A Note from the Research and Innovation Coordinator

[https://myneotoday.org/photos/35595_02132017081803.jpg]This past week, I ran a really cool tech program that centered around this year’s Summer Reading theme, “A Universe of Stories.” Using our Ozobot Classroom Kit and Ozobot’s fantastic educational Lesson Library<http://bit.ly/2y5N8jn> portal, I found a lesson plan <http://bit.ly/2GpS33i> that guides kids on using the Ozobots as their own tiny spaceship - showing them how to drive their spaceships and prepare a mission to Mars. These small but mighty robots can be coded simply by using red, green, blue and black markers. You drive and direct them by drawing lines and colors on paper. During the hour-long program, kids gained information about robotic sensors and computer programming while learning how to “drive” their spaceship. At the end of the program, not only had they acquired new skills, but the lesson plan provided them with their own spaceship driver’s license.

I wanted to pass this free and fun resource along to you in case you needed any last-minute program ideas or wanted to consider programs like this in the future. Tech companies like Ozobot<https://portal.ozobot.com/lessons>, Sphero<http://bit.ly/2OfzwwK>, 3Doodler <http://bit.ly/2XXVuce> and others provide excellent STEM-focused lesson portals that you can access and use for free. This is a fun, convenient and educational program that I’m sure your patrons would enjoy!
