My Project

Our students love coming to the library to explore, build, create, and play. It's a time for them to follow their own interests and work independently or collaboratively in a low-pressure, active learning environment. They can choose from building sets like Lego and K'Nex, art or sensory materials like origami and and Play Foam, games like Connect 4, and coding kits like Botley.

Our STEAM centers promote a sense of wonder and well-being for students.

This is especially important now, as students continue to recover from the stress of the last two years and the impact the pandemic has had on their daily lives. The items in this project will add variety to our STEAM centers and offer more choices to more students. They will help the library be a place of joy and respite for our students.
