As part of the American Graduate project, Marfa Public Radio has given the Marfa Public Library $5,000, for their help with the Youth Media Project.

The KRTS Youth Media Project – which matches adult mentors with high school students – will conclude early next year in a series of youth radio stories. Participating students will be producing their radio stories on computers at the Marfa Public Library.
