Fort building kits from SLCL are a great way for kids to practice hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) skills. Kids can design and build their ultimate fort with help from adults, siblings or friends. The kits provide opportunities to problem solve and communicate while working towards a common goal. Each kit contains 120 pieces and a portable bag for use indoors or outdoors.

SLCL offers a variety of items to help beat the winter doldrums or to liven up a rainy day. In addition to books, music and movies, patrons can use their library card to check out portable projectors, musical instruments, telescopes, binoculars, puzzles, board games, Read & Play kits, and more.
