Perfect rainy day to come to the Library! All young builders, scientists, mathematicians, and readers are invited to the Junior Library for a fun Saturday storytime and STEM challenge! This month’s maker mission is inspired by the book Snail Crossing by Corey R. Tabor. After hearing this story about a veggie loving snail, participants will create their own imaginative inventions to help him find his favorite snack.
