Grants help update school libraries
Several local schools were awarded “The Future STEMs from Reading” grants from the Washington State Library.
Each school library received 50 books — preselected from awarding-winning STEM booklists and ready to shelve with their Dewey labels — plus three professional titles for teachers.
Books in science, technology, engineering and math become outdated quicker than other library books; the grants aimed to help recession-hit school holdings stay relevant.
Local schools receiving books: Post Middle School (Arlington School District); Brier Elementary, Chase Lake Elementary, College Place Middle, Edmonds Woodway High, Lynnwood High (Edmonds); Madison Elementary, View Ridge Elementary, Evergreen Middle, Everett High School (Everett); Marshall Elementary (Marysville); Challenger Elementary, Columbia Elementary, Serene Lake Elementary, Olympic View Middle, Voyager Middle (Mukilteo); Emerson Elementary, Centennial Middle, Valley View Middle (Snohomish).
