STEAM Month

STEAM Month is back! Celebrate STEAM at the library this March with programs and activities spread across all four branches.

Families can look forward to everything from learning about beekeeping to making animated flipbooks to creating moving Minecraft Creepers to playing with Oobleck and more.

Family STEAM Night

WHEN: 6-8 pm Saturday, March 8

WHERE: Carrico/Fort Thomas Branch (1000 Highland Ave, Fort Thomas, KY 41075)

Hear from STEAM-related presenters, who will lead you through family-friendly activities! Attending presenters include the Kentucky Engineering Exposure Network, the Taft Museum of Art, the Foundation for Ohio River Education (F.O.R.E.), Boone County Arboretum on Wheels and Cool Critters Outreach.

You can also cast your vote in the Creator Competition! In February, the library hosted programs in which all ages could make a 6-by-6-by-6-inch creation using duct tape and LEGOs. (Entries must be turned in by 5 pm on Thursday, March 6).

Submissions will be displayed at Family STEAM Night, where you can vote for your favorite. Winners will receive a gift card!

STEAM Month Reading Challenge

Who’s ready for the STEAM Month Reading Challenge? Is your hand raised? If yes, here’s everything you need to know to read STEAM-themed books all month long (and maybe even score a prize for it).

First, sign up for the challenge on Beanstack at cc-pl.org/beanstack. Participants will earn one badge for each book they read in the STEAM categories (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). Earn up to five badges, each of which gets participants an entry in a drawing for a prize.

Adults, teens and children can all get in on the fun! There will be one prize given per age group.
