NASA comes to WNC

A new nationwide outreach program will bring NASA resources to Western North Carolina, with the Fontana Regional Library selected as one of 75 libraries in the U.S. to participate.

As a NASA@ My Library partner, Fontana Regional Library staff will get specialized training, and the library will get support for public programs on STEM topics as well as activity kits and materials. NASA subject experts will also be available as program presenters. 

To be selected, Fontana went through a competitive application process from a pool of more than 500 applicants to participate in the 18-month project with an opportunity to extend for an additional two years.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
