Join us each Wednesday for super science fun at the library!
These hands-on programs will integrate science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics in fun and exciting ways! Lasting 45-60 minutes, these programs are ideal for budding scientists who want to try some experiments of their own.
This program is only for Grades 3-5.
No registration required.
Space is limited, so please arrive early.
