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,
June 22 with a discussion of “The Birchbark House” by Louise Erdrich, the STEAM
Book Club will encourage area students to improve their understanding of
current core competencies through critical thinking and book-related
activities.
“The
Birchbark House” follows Omakayas, a seven-year-old Native American girl of the
Ojibwa tribe, as she lives through the joys of summer and the perils of winter
on an island in Lake Superior in 1847.
The
STEAM Book Club is free and open to all third, fourth and fifth graders. June’s
program will be held from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. in the Library’s Thaler/Howell
Programming Room.
Free
copies of “The Birchbark House” can be picked up at the Youth Services
Reference Desk.

Funding for STEAM
programming is provided by the Ujeni Grants for Advancing Public Education Fund

Dedicated Memorial Fund of the Community Foundation of Tompkins County.
