Borrow, learn and explore!
For years now libraries have pushed themselves to engage with new technologies and provide programming that complements the school curriculum in preparing kids for the coming challenges of the future. YPRL has met this challenge through many successful programs, such as our Code Clubs, Maker Spaces, and regular workshops in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) disciplines. The next logical step for us to support learning in STEM literacies is to provide lending resources that can be taken home like any other item in our collection.
That's where our Learning & Toy Library comes in!
