Families are invited to drop-in and explore hands-on STEM play. Build, test, and create through fun challenges at your own pace! Stay as long as you like and enjoy an experience that is perfect for curious minds of all ages.
This is a literacy program that includes elements of Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math, and often overlaps with creativity – Arts. We use the acronym STEAM to describe this type of library program. Exploring STEAM activities helps develop critical thinking skills and promote collaboration.

Event Moderation & Tips
Event Moderation & Troubleshooting Tips
1. New Events Not Appearing in Search
We’ve seen an increase in cases where newly created events do not appear in the Events search. If this happens, please try the following:
- Re-save the event’s schedule. This is especially important for events with single schedule entries, which may not index correctly on first save.
Re-saving triggers a refresh of the event data and usually resolves the issue.
2. Reminder: Moderation Process for Edited Events
Please remember that when an existing event is edited:
- Any update places the event back into moderation.
- A moderator must review and approve the changes before they become publicly visible.
If your updates don’t appear right away, the event is likely still awaiting moderation.
