STEM Program and AUTHOR MEET & GREET

            The Calhoun County Library held STEM and STEM, Jr. programs last Thursday that taught children aged 5 - 12 about local vegetation.

            The young scientists of the Calhoun County Library visited on Thursday, July 21, 2022 to learn about local plants, leaves, and stems. Plants have a very important role in the world, and we want to educate all of our children about them. Our biologists had to identify what kind of plant it was, label the parts of a plant, and what each needs to thrive in our community. Doctor Lesa Rice-Jackson conducted this program specifically for students to understand more about our local vegetation as it is very important in Calhoun County’s agricultural landscape.

            Join us for the next STEM and STEM, Jr. programs taught by Doctor Lesa Rice-Jackson on Thursday, August 4, 2022, at 11:45 AM - 12:30 PM. Our scientists will be learning about geometry with simple shapes. Following that program, we will be having a pizza party for all participants. At 1 PM, local author Monica Roe will be doing a meet and greet. You may be the lucky winner of a copy of her newest release, Air. You can also purchase books, have them signed, and ask her any questions you may have about her books, her life in Alaska, and writing. You won’t regret coming to the library on Thursday, August 4, 2022!

            The STEM programs are made possible by an awarded grant from Save the Children to encourage learning and understanding of science, technology, engineering, and math.
