Children ages 8-12 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
September 27 with a discussion of “The Year Money Grew on Trees” by Aaron
Hawkins, the STEAM Book Club is designed to encourage area students to improve
their understanding of current core competencies through critical thinking and
book-related activities.
The club will meet in the Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming
Room at 3:45 p.m. for discussion and refreshments.
Set in 1980s New Mexico, “The Year Money Grew on Trees” follows
13-year-old, Jackson Jones, as he enlists the help of young family members to
resurrect an elderly neighbor’s neglected apple orchard. With hard work and a
little luck, Jones has the opportunity to not only make money but to own the
orchard.
Free copies of “The Year Money Grew on Trees” can be picked up by
new and returning Club members at the Youth Services Reference Desk.
For more information, contact the Youth Services Reference Desk at
(607) 272-4557 extension 275.
The
STEAM Book Club has been made possible by the Tompkins County Public Library
Foundation with support from the Michael Kammen Children’s Fund.
