Highlights - what worked well?

Participants were excited to draw mazes and the game went over well with older participants.

The goal of the program was to expose participants to other sections of the library they may not regularly use and potentially discover new, non-fiction reads based on the STEAM ideas (science, technology, engineering, art or mathematics.)
