Programs for Elementary Age Children

For our elementary-aged friends, the Allentown Public Library offer various on-going and special programs. Check the calendar for exact dates. We do much of our programming year-round, but do take breaks from time to time.

No registration is required to attend these programs, but we do appreciate a “heads-up” if a large group is coming so we have enough supplies!

Drop in STEM STEM Saturdays
Thursdays, 5 – 6 pmCheck the calendars for dates!

We use our engineering, robotic, and other components for various STEM related activities.
