The Nebraska Library Commission recently awarded $30,000 in Children's Grants for Excellence to Nebraska public
libraries. Of the grants awarded, several addressed the need for specialized computer workstations for children,
while others will use tools like LEGO® to encourage creativity in young people. Libraries received funding to
implement science programs to encourage young inquiring minds, as well as to offer special reading and
storytelling programs.
