The Science Squad at Jackson Branch

Join the squad! Come create, learn, and explore the world around us through hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics activities at the Larry R. Jackson Branch Library on Tuesday, March 10th from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. 

The Science Squad is recommended for children ages 7-12 and their grown-ups, no registration required. Things could get messy, so please wear appropriate clothing and make sure to arrive by 5:30 pm to not miss any of the fun!
