In October of 2021, the Kilgore Public Library was selected as a recipient of the NASA @ My Library grant. The purpose of this grant is to provide NASA themed programming and resources at the Kilgore Public Library in the months to come, to partner with local school districts to provide science programming, and to reach diverse members of our community.  NASA@ My Library is a STEM education initiative created to increase and enhance STEAM learning opportunities for library patrons throughout the nation, including geographic areas and populations currently underrepresented in STEAM education. Kilgore Public Library is just one of sixty U.S. public or tribal libraries nationwide to be selected to become NASA@ My Library Partners.
