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.

The Tri-City Public Library District has extended its search and is encouraging letters of interest from district citizens who are interested in being appointed to a two-year term as Trustee on the Tri-City Public Library District Board.
