Kids to get hands-on with science at Asheboro library



Children can make the link between reading and science through free, hands-on after-school science programs at the Asheboro library.

The series, “Hands-On Science,” will kick-off at 3 p.m. Thursday, November 26,  with “Windmills!” Participants will learn about windmills and make one to take home.

Anyone in grades 2-6 is invited to join in. Call the Asheboro library Children’s Room at 318-6804 to register.

“Hands-On Science” will continue on the last Thursday of each month. Librarians will guide kids through a series of experiments, teach them scientific vocabulary, and lead them to the proper conclusions by asking them questions during each science experiment.

Each child will be given all supplies necessary to complete a take home project and will be guided step-by-step.

“Reading and books are directly connected to science and math, and it can all be a lot of fun when we put it all together,” says children’s librarian Melina Simpson.

The library is located at 201 Worth Street in Asheboro.
