[Purpose/significance] Based on a case study of the Idaho Commission for Libraries’ STEM programs, this paper provides reference for the STEM education implemented in public libraries in China. [Method/process] Using Internet survey, this paper analyzed the implementation of the Idaho Commission for Libraries’ STEM programs, and summarized its characteristics. On this basis, the study put forward suggestions for Chinese public libraries to carry out STEM education. [Result/conclusion] The corresponding suggestions include: establishing STEM education commission of public libraries; integrating reading and STEM education; promoting the integration of STEM education and maker education; emphasizing on adult STEM education.
