CT State Library Highlights Ms. Nicole's Science Bytes! | |
|
Watch the new CT Pages and hear from Nicole Dolat, Youth Services Librarian at the Bloomfield Public Library, who shares her experience creating Science Bytes, a regular series of on-demand STEM videos and activities that took off during the pandemic.
Ideal for ages 7-12, the program often comes with a complimentary bag of supplies that can be picked up at the library. Younger folks with a caregiver, older siblings, and entire families have also been known to get involved. On-demand programming allows the library to meet everyone at their best times with the added benefit of turning many of these formerly kid-focused programs into intergenerational programs that families participate in together!
CT Pages is a channel for sharing community engagement success stories by libraries with and for their communities. We partner with CT libraries to create and release short video conversations with the library staff who make things happen.
