STEM Kits:
Toys that Move
We are getting creative this month making paper toys that move with our STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) take-and-make kits. Stop by the library each week to pick up new kits in the front vestibule on the bookshelf just before you come into the main library or you can email and request to have it put out on the porch for a pick up. .
