The TFL KIDSpace: A PLAYGROUND FOR THE MIND! has been attracting families, grandparents, and small groups to the library to engage with our large collection of STEAM manipulators.  Whether the kids or grandkids are science-minded, artistic, or musically inclined, there is something for everyone.  "It was our goal to bring in STEAM activities for all age groups from toddler to teens," states Lynn M. Piotrowicz, library director.  Many people are interested in what the TFL staff accomplished with this project.  Your library director presented a summary of the project at the New Hampshire Library Trustees Association 2018 Spring Conference.  She has also been invited to speak at the Hill Co-Op this fall.

Small Libraries Create Smart Spaces was a program that supported 15 small and rural public libraries from across the country as they reimagined and reconfigured their libraries into smart spaces. These small U.S. public libraries have been selected to participate in this project led by OCLC in partnership with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL). The libraries, chosen from 106 completed applications, are located in 12 different states and serve communities ranging in size from 1,000 to 21,000 people. This 18-month program is made possible by a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and is implemented in partnership by WebJunction and the Association for Rural and Small Libraries.
