New “Library of Things” at the Redding Library

From KRCR News

” The Redding Library now offers a lot more than just books.There are hundreds of thousands of books, but now there’s so much more including the relatively new “Library of Things”.Shasta Public Libraries Director Anna Tracy says it’s primarily for children right now.”This is our engineering maker box, and what it includes is this instruction manual full of different experiments. You can learn how to make a hovercraft balloon. You can learn how to do a candy corn catapult. All kinds of different experiences that really support the local education from Shasta County Office of Education and other schools in our districts, but also are a lot of fun.” said Tracy.There are things for us older children. The new emphasis was brought on by results from a recent library user satisfaction survey.”
