Amazing Minerals! (session 1)

The Rutgers Geology Museum returns to present this exciting class to kids entering grades K-6!

Museum staff will talk about minerals, and participants will learn about the three rock types, how they are formed, and how geologists define minerals and their properties. Attendees will participate in hands-on science and arts activities, and each participant will receive their own mineral identification kit to take home!

Limited space!  Please stop at the children's desk beginning at 9:30 AM for a free ticket, while supplies last.

Community Scrapbook Night

Drop by the meeting rooms any time during this event to sit down and craft a scrapbook page for the EB community scrapbook! Completed pages will be collected and digitized for online access, as well as being assembled into a physical scrapbook that will be entered into the libary's collection like a time capsule for future generations.

Light snacks will be provided!

Make a Mandala Kaleidocycle!

What's a kaleidocycle?  Good question!  A kaleidocycle is a flexible fidget toy that can be continually turned inside-out, with each rotation showing a new pattern!  We'll be coloring mandala patterns on ours and then assembling them, with the help of our awesome teen volunteers!

Drop by beginning at 4:00.  We'll clean up together at 5:15!

For kids in kindergarten and up.
