The OLC is once again joining forces with the Center of Science and Industry (COSI) to help make science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) learning opportunities more accessible to children in your service area.
This year, your library can receive 100 FREE learning kits, called Learning Lunchboxes (COSI is doubling the distribution from last year).
The kits will have a dinosaur theme and include five days of learning content. Also, COSI will be creating a special toolkit for our members that will tie into the Summer Reading theme, “Oceans of Possibilities.”
The OLC hosted a webinar on May 16, 2022 with COSI about the program and how your library can participate. If you missed the live presentation, a recording is available below.
