Make. Play. Think.

This Friday will be the CTL's first Make. Play. Think. event, which will kick off during Community Time! 

The CTL aims to provide students with many learning opportunities that go beyond books and toward the future of libraries. In addition to supporting curriculum, the CTL is a place of discovery, interaction and social learning opportunities.

With Make. Play. Think. our goal is to create a fun learning space that helps extend science and math concepts through games and toys that challenge the brain. 

Check out this video with some of our very own teachers, Diana Lang and Geraldine Loveless, describing the benefits of playing with toys:

We also want to imform the public about water privatization because it is such a big issue that is worldwide. Our URL for the petition is: http://tinyurl.com/c8r2e4s.
