DISCOVERY KITS

Our Discovery Kits collection is now available!  Earlier this year, we received a grant from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) - Region 4.  This grant allowed us to create circulating kits with materials for hands on learning.

The Discovery Kits include materials for learning on the topics of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.  The purpose of this collection is to be a starting point for discovery and education.  They will provide engaging learning experiences for patrons both inside and outside of the library.  These kits can only be checked out at the Eager Free Public Library, and they can be checked out for two weeks at a time.  Renewals are allowed if no holds exist for the item.

You can search for these items in the SHARE catalog using the search terms of "discovery kit."  Here is a list of our currently available kits:
