Like science? Like reading? Join us for our virtual Kids Science Book Club this summer!
Kids Science Book Club is designed for elementary students ages 7 to 10. During each session on Zoom, kids will talk about a science-themed book, and then SPL staff will demonstrate a STEAM experiment to try at home. Register in advance for each meeting to reserve a free copy of the discussion book and supplies for the experiment.
*Registration for all sessions of the Kids Science Book Club is currently full. However, patrons can get the list of supplies for each session by clicking the links below. Videos will be posted on YouTube after each event and you can gather the supplies and try the experiments at home!
