To show off these books there will be a STEM Fair at the library on Saturday, July 28, 2018 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
There will be activities based upon some of the books around the library and in the Chamber of Commerce room across the hall. These activities will be for a variety of ages.
The library will be serving lunch as well. This activity will be free of charge, and all are invited to attend.
The “Back to Books” grants were awarded using federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds provided to the Secretary of State/Illinois State Library by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Grants to States program.
