Library Laboratory: Marshmallow Towers

With the recent rising intrigue in science, the volunteers of the VLC have established the Library Laboratory. Our volunteers have made creative and educational presentations catered towards elementary-aged children. This club will allow participants to take part in group and individual events to increase their curiosity and knowledge of STEM topics. In hour-long meetings that take place every other week, kids will learn about a specific science topic supplemented with a related hands-on activity. 

DIY Slime

Get messy at the library and leave with some slime! This program will be held outside. In case of bad weather, we will move it inside. Please register online here for either the 2pm or 3 pm session.
