LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Friends of the Lake County Library invite families to visit the new STEM station at their local branch library.

Children can explore the world of science, technology, engineering and mathematics with hands-on activities.

Check out the hidden wonders of the world with a microscope and slides.

Learn how your body is built with an anatomy model.

Build a structure and see how it stands up in an earthquake.

Get up close and personal with insects and spiders with a bug identification guide.

Check out one of the many animal specimen kits.

And there is so much more.

Each branch has its own station located in the children's area and available whenever the library is open.

Redbud and Lakeport have similar items while Upper Lake and Middletown have smaller collections that fit better in their branch. Visit them all!

The Friends are so pleased to have made this dream of library staff possible with the generous award given us by 100 Women Strong of Lake County last November. The group offers its thanks to 100 Women Strong.
