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
August 23 with a discussion of “The Friendship Experiment” by Erin Teagan, 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.
“The Friendship
Experiment” follows aspiring scientist Madeline Little, as she navigates the
perils of sixth grade. Just days into her middle school career, Little is
forced to develop a new hypothesis for succeeding in middle school.
Free copies of
“The Friendship Experiment” are available at the Youth Services Reference Desk
for new and returning Club members.
For
more information, contact Kate DeVoe at (607) 272-4557 extension 277 or kdevoe@tcpl.org.
The
STEAM Book Club is made possible with the support of the Michael Kammen
Children's Fund of the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation.
