Kids enjoy using our magnetic walls, light tables, Magna Tiles, Straws and Connectors, circuit builders, code games and more during programs and group visits. We have also obtained specially designed electronic toys to support special needs individuals with Bosch grant funds. We are grateful for the opportunity to offer STEAM materials at the Library.
