2015 Future Stems from Reading Grants the Recent Recession Resulted in Many School Districts Tightening Their Budgets

2015 Future STEMs from Reading grants The recent recession resulted in many school districts tightening their budgets. School library resources were hard hit and many have yet to recover. Since materials in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields date more quickly, collections need to be renewed more frequently. An advisory committee of teacher-librarians has assembled 230 STEM book collections from lists of award-winning books aimed at elementary, middle and high school students for grantees. School libraries from across the state were awarded the following collections based on their school's needs with the help of the Future STEMs from Reading grants.
