> To bring this excellent program to libraries in Maryland, LBPH is applying for funding through a grant.  With support from this grant, LBPH will collaborate with FutureMakers to plan, develop, and present a series of innovative accessible STEM workshops to five regional library consortia. Additionally, we will create accompanying curricula and offer training for library staff that would benefit children, parents and caregivers.  To complete our application, we are asking for letters of support from families who live in the following counties:
