STEM Kits
Our kits are designed to provide hands-on interaction and creative learning with STEM concepts.
Each kit focuses on a theme and contains:
- an explorative, hands-on item
- non-fiction and/or fiction books
Kits circulate for two weeks and are eligible for renewals as item demand allows. Items can be picked up from the front desk of the library. Please keep in mind, kits must be returned to the front. One kit at a time per family please.
These kits were made possible by the
Friends of the Irene Ingle Public Library
