Several libraries have asked, so please see attached for a list of responses compiled from my initial inquiry about STEM/STEAM Kits. I will be sharing more information about Novi’s STEAM Kits once we are ready to put the items into circulation.

Thank you,

Lindsay

Subject: [Teen-Services] STEM/STEAM Kits

Good evening –

The Novi Public Library recently received a grant and generous donation to create circulating STEM/STEAM kits. Our kits will focus on children in grades K-6^th. We would like to know what items other libraries have included in their STEAM kits along with pros or cons for items. We are also interested in hearing about circulation rules (how long is the checkout period, how many kits checked out per card, holds allowed on kits, overdue fines, damaged/missing pieces, etc.). Any information that you can share would be greatly appreciated!
