If you’re not ready to say good-bye to St. Patrick’s Day, say hello to Malachy McCourt’s History of Ireland.

I am a new staff member in a new position at the Marion Public Library. I was thrilled when the library hired me to do marketing communications for an organization 1) I already wholeheartedly believed in and 2) in which I was already what I call an “incognito regular.” (You know, the type who dashes in, goes right to the area she knows, grabs a book or three, and races back out while tucking her library card back into an easy-to-find spot.)

You have probably heard we need to prepare our kids for STEAM careers. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics. Introducing your young children to science may seem intimidating, but the library can help. Your children can learn about science without even realizing they are learning.
