Youth Services News STEM to Read Workshops

[Dekle, Deanne, DCA]

Good morning Youth Services staff!
I hope you're all well on this Tuesday morning! I just wanted to give you all a reminder about the upcoming STEM to Read workshops held by Explora. We'll be holding 3 workshops next month to tie into Summer Reading 2020. I know it's super early but the grant that pays for these workshops ends in October so they have to be done by the grant deadline. These are really great, useful workshops that give you easy programming ideas using the theme and without spending a lot of money. The day ends with creating an activity tied into a storybook (that you then get to keep at the end of the day) using some of the ideas and concepts you've learned that day. Explora has been planning this for a couple years and have managed to figure out a way to tie STEM concepts into fairytales and I think it's going to be a lot of fun! These workshops are free to attend and will be held:

  *   September 13th 10-2:30 @ Taos Public Library
  *   September 25th 10-2:30 @ Marshall Memorial Library (Deming)
  *   September 27th 10-2:30 @ Portales Public Library

Registration is required to attend, so please register at: https://forms.gle/qud4vjJ8aPByYwuWA.

And if your library is interested in receiving a copy of the parent surveys from this summer (in an excel spreadsheet) that are in reference to your library and your program, please let me know! I've had several libraries ask and I have a list going but am happy to run it for any library that is interested! It won't be until after it closes so sometime next week or the week after.
