Join us for fun in the youth area of the library. Drop in on the 4th Tuesday of the month between 4:15 and 5:15 to enjoy a science, technology, engineering, or math activity. (Afterschool Fun: Get Crafty & STEM programs have been pushed back 1 week due to the holiday closure on November 11. There will be no Afterschool Fun Board Games this month.) 

This month, we’re observing three of the four forces of flight as we make ribbon rockets! We’ll provide the cardboard tubes, ribbons, paper, and crayons; you’ll provide the thrust (balanced with drag and gravity) to make this rocket “fly” (aka glide) along its ribbon tracks. “Blast off” with hands-on learning at the library!
