The summer session of MGOL will be held Mondays at 9:30 AM in the Central Branch Library.
Read Play Grow
Read Play Grown helps parents/caregivers explore early literacy practices with a strong focus on reading and playing together! For families with older toddlers and preschoolers. Every Thursday at 10 AM, we will read, play, sing, talk, and write with our little learners and their special grown-ups!
STEAM Adventures
STEM Adventures club offers an engaging platform for students to delve into the exciting realms of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM). STEAM Adventures will be held twice a month in June and July this summer. Participants can anticipate immersive hands-on activities that foster creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. From building experiments to exploring the latest innovations, each session promises an interactive learning experience that ignites curiosity and cultivates a deeper understanding of STEAM concepts. Join us as we illuminate the path to discovery and inspire the next generation of innovators and problem solvers.
