(KLZA)--The Falls City Library & Arts Center has been awarded a $2000 SKPL grant from the Region 4, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

The goal of Science Kits for Public Libraries is to bring hands-on STEM experiences to kids everywhere, one library at a time.

The library has purchased materials and assembled kits focusing on subjects of magnetism, elementary physics, everyday science, math & money, exploring circuits, electronics & coding, and much more.

These kits will be available to check out and will also be used for future STEM projects and programs at the library. The public is invited to an open-house event on September 4 from 5pm-6:30pm to explore and check out the new kits.
