Our annual children's Summer Quest program continues with summer fun!

Do you enjoy looking through old photos, sharing memories, and preserving local history? The Way We Were Club may be for you! The library now has thousands of photos and negatives, covering a multitude of subjects, we're received from Meyersdale's former New Republic newspaper. If you like technology, we can even show you how to scan photos for digital preservation! There is no set schedule for the club. It is up to members to decide when they want to come.

We will be exploring "Roller Coaster Science" using a STEM kit from Kiwi Co. Participants will build a loop-the-loop coaster, sending a metal ball on a rollercoaster ride and learning how the "centrifugal effect" keeps the ball from falling off. The kit provides an option to build another amusement park ride. Families are encouraged to attend to gether, but for individual participants, the program is most appropriate fo ages 8-12. Registrants may keep their kits (one per family). Snacks will be available. There will also be a book giveaway! This program is part of "Remake Learning Days" programming.

On Thursday, May 22, at 7PM, we will be discussing "Our Missing Hearts" by Celeste Ng
