Feeling bored? The library has STEAM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Arts-Math) materials available all summer long to explore at your convenience. Code & Go Mice, Ozobots, Cubetto, Little Bits, Cubelets, STEM Fairy Tale Kits, and more will be arriving every two weeks throughout the holiday.
Ask at the desk and take a kit back to a table to explore as a family. Materials are for use in-branch only.
Inkscape is a free program you can use at home or on the
library computers to make digital ‘vector’ graphics- and you can use it with
the library’s Cricut cutter to make your own dazzling physical art pieces. Week
1: Inkscape basics. Week 2: How you can use path tools to get perfect control
over what the Cricut draws or cuts out for you. Teens and Adults Welcome!
Ever wanted to learn computer programming? Then this is the program for you. Learn to code on an Arduino Uno using the beginner friendly Arduino coding language. This program is intended for adults with teens welcome.

Second Wednesday of the month stop in the library with your preschooler to see what book and projects we are featuring this month. Staff will have a story and different projects on hand for your preschooler to explore!
This coding club will work through one theme, language, and major project a month. The session on the second Wednesday of the month is the best entry point, as the session on the fourth Wednesday of the month will directly build on what was learned on the previous session.
We'll be picking projects and languages based on the interests of attendees of the last month's programs - the instructor has experience with Web Development (HTML/CSS/JS), Python and its libraries, Scratch and Game-making, Bash and Linux usage, and will be focusing on skills that are cross-transferable between languages.
This is a 1 hour and 45 minute period you can get certified to use the Makerspace equipment.
If you are interested in getting certified or using the Makerspace equipment in Rutland at this time, please contact staff to set up an appointment! You will need to bring government issued ID to complete the certification process. Makerspace users under the age of 19 will need to bring their Parent/Guardian to co-sign the waiver and agreement.
