Elmont Memorial High School is a recipient of a 2022 Mathical Book Prize Collection Development Award. The school received a $700 grant to purchase award-winning titles from the Mathical Book Prize List to expand its library’s collection of literary fiction and nonfiction books that encourage students to discover a love of mathematics.
The grant, which is awarded by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in partnership with School Library Journal, was given to 25 libraries in K-12 Title I schools nationwide. To be eligible, schools must employ a full- or part-time librarian who meets state requirements for school library media certification and is currently employed as a media specialist, teacher librarian or equivalent position.
