We had a fantastic time at Family Night at Peebles Elementary School on Thursday, March 20! Library Programmer Sabrena and Digital Literacy Specialist Jacob showcased all of our great library resources. Kids had a blast exploring Air Toobz, a hands-on STEM Kit from our Beyond Books collection that’s available for checkout. Thanks to everyone who visited our booth! We had a great night of learning and fun.
