Thanks to a collaborative effort between the Traverse Area District Library and Newton's Road, STEM kits are NOW AVAILABLE at Benzonia Public Library! The two organizations obtained a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services which will put STEM kits in all of the libraries in our region!
 
The STEM kits vary from hands-on tactile learning, to coding, to a digital microscope, and lots of fun stuff in between. These are a great resource for home school, in person, or virtual students! Kits will be available for a one week checkout with renewal allowed.
 
Many thanks to Traverse Area District Library and Newton's Road.
