Robot Day at the Library

We are celebrating National Robotics Week by having a Robot Day by letting robots take over the library. We'll cover robotics education, development, and even funding for robotics.

Bring a robot to let it roam the library or for show and tell. If you don't have a robot, don't worry, you can dress up like one or make a simple robot with a hands on activity provided by the library and exhibitors. This is a free community event for all ages.
