Welcome to Full STEAM Ahead!
We are excited to be able to offer STEAM Kits – toys and activities that build skills in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. These are educational (and fun!) items that will engage adults and children alike. We hope that these deliver positive, hands-on learning experiences that will provide opportunities for discovery and challenges.

How do I check out a STEAM Kit? |
|
To place a hold on a STEAM Kit item select 'Book Now'. This can be found under each STEAM Kit item in the chart above. You must place a hold in advance. You will be asked to provide some basic information, and accept the terms and conditions outlined. Your library card also needs to be in good standing. Library staff will contact you when the Kit becomes available to you. You may be put on a waitlist based on demand. Kits are available on a first come, first serve basis. |
|
Where can I pick a STEAM Kit up? |
|
Just like a book, STEAM Kits can be sent to any of our 14 branches. You will be asked to indicate your preferred branch when you place a hold. |
|
How many STEAM Kits can I place a hold on at one time? |
|
As many as you’d like! Right now, we do not plan to limit the number of items that you have holds on, or checked out at one time. |
|
How long can I borrow a STEAM Kit for? |
|
You are able to borrow STEAM Kits for one week from when you pick it up. |
|
Is this a free service? |
|
Yes! All you need is a library card. |
|
What am I responsible for? |
|
If lost or damaged, you will need to cover the cost to replace the item in the Kit. Prior to placing a hold, you will be notified of how much the items in the Kit cost. We also expect you to return the Kit on time. Some items in the Kits do not need to be returned (a container of Play-Doh for example). This will be clearly indicated on the box. All other items must be returned. |
| How do I return a STEAM Kit? |
| STEAM Kits do not fit in the book drop, so they must be returned to a branch during opening hours. |
