Lego Club
The weekly Lego Club meets on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library (TNRL) branch in Barriere. At its meeting on March 2, club member Ridge Hopson created a hunting cabin, complete with a snowmobile, traps and a golden treasure.
Spring Break
Spring Break is fast approaching, and in addition to Lego Club Saturdays, the Barriere Library will host another Nerf Blast. The rock-painting station will be set up so patrons of all ages can contribute to our Kindness rock garden.
The Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) Building Contest
The TNRL is hosting a STEM building contest, and we will also have STEM kits available in the library during spring break, with take-home activities and a science book to borrow. Add some science fun into Spring Break with the TNRL STEM Challenge, while supplies last.
Using whatever materials are available at home, children between the ages of 6 and 12 can show off their STEM skills by making a STEM-related craft over Spring Break. Popsicle sticks, paper cups, cardboard, playing cards, blocks or straws: the possibilities are endless.
Once the structure is complete, simply snap a photo and fill in the online entry form for a chance to win a STEM prize. The contest runs from March 18 to April 8.
Pam Rudd is the Branch Head at the Barriere Library.
