Middle-graders are invited to explore science, technology, engineering, art and math through lively book discussions and hands-on activities during Tompkins County Public Library’s monthly STEAM Book Club.
Continuing Wednesday,
September 28 with a discussion of “The Turn of the Tide” by Rosanne Parry, the
STEAM Book Club will encourage area students to improve their understanding of
current core competencies through critical thinking and book-related
activities.
After a devastating
tsunami in Japan, cousins Jet and Kai spend the
summer together in Astoria, Oregon, training for the
Young's Bay Treasure Island Race and become close friends in the process.
The club will meet
in the Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming Room at 3:45 p.m. for discussion and
refreshments. Following the discussion, participants will explore meteorology
with hands-on activities.
The STEAM Book Club
is free and open to all third, fourth and fifth graders.
Free copies of “The
Turn of the Tide” can be picked up at the Youth Services Reference Desk.
For more
information or to register, contact Kate DeVoe at (607) 272-4557 extension 277
or kdevoe@tcpl.org.
Support for the 'STEAM Book Club' has been provided by the
Tompkins County Public Library Foundation through the Michael Kammen Children's
Fund and through the Bradford Endowment for Youth Services Programming.
