The Robertson Memorial Library is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Kit Grant through the Missouri State Library in the amount of $3527.62. Funds from this grant have been used to purchase 26 STEM Kits like the ones pictured, for families to checkout from our library! STEM learning is so important for young minds to help develop critical thinking, ingenuity, creativity, teamwork, and life skills they will need for the future.  The kits are being used weekly during the summer reading program story hour.  Kits will be available to check out soon. Thanks to the Institute of Museum and Library Services
