What’s New at Smiley you ask? I’m so glad you asked! The Youth Services Department is excited to announce nine newly acquired book kits for our Library of Things, consisting of six Mental Wellness (two in Spanish, four in English) and three STEAM Kits (English) available for check-out! The Mental Wellness backpacks are provided to you through a grant from California State Library. The STEAM kits were purchased from Penworthy Books.
These are the subjects for the Mental Awareness kits:
and the STEAM-to-Go:
You will find these kits in the Young Readers’ Room, hanging on hooks near the Computer Table Station.
With a valid library card, a borrower is able to check out one backpack or kit for two weeks with no renewal ability (one per family).
Each kit comes with a label attached to the backpack listing all contents inside.
Each kit comes with an explanatory, laminated sheet to help you maximize the use of the kit with your child.
We’ll be excited to see which kit you decide to check out first!
