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
October 26 with a discussion of “The War That Saved My Life” by Kimberly
Brubaker Bradley, 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 young disabled girl and her brother are evacuated from London to the English
countryside during World War II, they find life to be much sweeter away from
their abusive mother.
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 ways that science and technology help people with disabilities.
The
STEAM Book Club is free and open to all third, fourth and fifth graders.
Free
copies of “The War That Saved My Life” can be picked up at the Youth Services
Reference Desk.

The 'STEAM Book Club' has been made possible by the
Tompkins County Public Library Foundation with support from the Michael Kammen
Children's Fund and the Bradford Endowment for Youth Services Programming.
