The Hurt Battelle Memorial Library received an early Christmas present from Battelle.  Battelle is awarding the library $20,000 to support the library's STEM programming in 2023.  The Library Board and staff are grateful for Battelle's continued support.  The library has now received this grant for 3 consecutive years.  Last year, 2000 children participated in various STEM programs conducted by the library.  This year's goal is to increase attendance by 10%.
