Discovery Kits
Use your library card to check out these kits!
The Discovery Kits Collection aims to provide engaging learning experiences for patrons both inside and outside of the library. The Discovery Kits include materials for hands-on learning on the topics of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The purpose of this collection is to be a catalyst for discovery and education. This collection was created with funds from a Science Kits for Public Libraries Grant awarded by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) – Region 4.
