STEAM Lab

Join us for the STEAM Lab this summer at the library, where you can explore your inner scientist through hands-on experiments and projects focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Designed for elementary students in grades K-5, this drop-in program takes place every Tuesday from 1-2 p.m. No registration is required—just come by and enjoy!
