The Tri-City Public Library District Board of Trustees will welcome Heather Humphrey of Buffalo to its Board at their next board meeting in August. Ms. Humphrey is a parent of a child currently attending Tri-City schools and is employed by the Illinois Department of Transportation. Ms. Humphrey was selected to serve an unfilled board vacancy and will serve a two-year term.

The Tri-City Public Library has recently added a significant number of books for kids K-12 on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) books. Most of the titles were selections from the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) "Best STEM Books" for 2018 and 2019.

The books range from picture books to young adult non-fiction on a wide range of topics such as astronomy, nature, biographies of scientists and doctors, mathematics, engineering and computing. There are also science-based fiction books for young readers to encourage curiosity about science and related topics.

There's only so many things you or your kids can do around the house before the words "I'm bored" are inevitably heard. So maybe it's time to hit up the library and check out not only a book but also all the activities we have. We've got puzzles, game systems, computers, internet, lego, puppets and more.
