THE LANGUAGE OF THE FUTURE DICKINSON PUBLIC LIBRARY RECEIVES GRANT FROM TEXAS NEW MEXICO POWER. $5000 GRANT WILL ALLOW FOR EXPANSION OF TEEN CODING CLASSES.

DICKINSON, TX. – December 19, 2017 – Dickinson Public
Library is pleased to announce it has received a $5000
grant from Texas New Mexico Power. These funds will
support the expansion of Teen Coding classes at the library
by allowing the library to purchase access to a coding
database and laptops
to accommodate additional
teens in the program. The
program was previously limited
to six individuals and will
now expand to a capacity of
seventeen thanks to the funding
of additional equipment.
“The technology we’ll be
purchasing with the grant
allows teens in our community
a chance to learn coding
skills that can be applied
in everyday life and in their
futures. Providing access to
technology at the library is critical especially following the
devastation and loss of personal technology within our
community during Hurricane Harvey,” said Lindsay Henson,
library director.
