JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The James River Valley Library System (JRVLS) will be able to grow their Library of Things thanks in part to a grant from the State Library.
JRVLS Library Directory Joe Rector says the grant will allow them to purchase more items to be checked out of the unique space.
Rector says educators have realized that science, technology, engineering, art, and math are vital to teaching a well-rounded student.
Some of the items to be purchased include a telescope, digital microscope, rock tumblr, coding robots, solar & electric STEM kit, magnetic STEM kit, Snap Circuits, Physics & Engineering STEM kit, and graphing calculator.
Rector says these will all be available to checkout from the Library of Things. Due to some of the new items, he says they’ll have programs in the new year to show parents and children how to use them.
Other services provided by the JRVLS include their Talking Books program through the Library of Congress, allowing those who are totally or legally blind to enjoy reading. Rector says it allows for more inclusivity when it comes to using the library.
Rector also shared information about their online resources and upcoming programming for adults and children.
