[Michlib-l] LSTA Public Library Services grant awards announced

[Reish, Karren (MDE)]

The Library of Michigan is pleased to announce the 2019 Public Library Services grant awards. The grant program, now in its third year and made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, provides materials for a program done in the summer. 92 public libraries in Michigan have received total funding of $153,554 at levels of $500 to $2,000 each this year.

Grant recipients across the state have a wide range of creative ideas for using their grants, and Michigan's youth are the beneficiaries. Among the programs these grants will fund include:

  *   teens may participate in an arts and ecology program on Rabbit Island through the Portage Lake District Library in Houghton;
  *   teens and "tweens" statewide can learn coding through various robotics activities; and
  *   Southfield Public Library will offer space-science programming based on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
