Bradfield and Dorsey libraries have been the recipients of several GEF grants thanks to librarians, Kelsey Rey and Rhonda Simpson. Students who visit these libraries have many more activities to fill their time beyond just reading silently.
Both libraries feature Makerspace areas that offer students a chance to explore interests or work collaboratively with classmates towards a common goal of their choosing. Students might express their creativity with sand art, puppet shows, origami or coloring. Other students might practice their problem-solving skills using puzzles, strategy-games, building tools and more.
Students at both libraries also have the opportunity to practice logic and coding skills using Bee-Bots. These exciting little robots move forward, back, left or right along the path that students have programmed. The students must analyze the problem, break it down into steps and program the Bee-Bot to move along the path that will correctly answer the lesson’s question.
