STEAM kits are on pause while being updated
What is an internal kit for youth services?
Youth and/or teens are the primary audiences. A systemwide internal kit is
- a set of equipment or materials for a specific purpose or program
- for staff or in-library use only
- for use by multiple locations and either
- stored until requested or annual program rotation OR
- rotated monthly among locations who have opted-in
Examples: teen lock box programs and tiny tots board book tubs
So You Want to Create a Kit: a tool to workshop your idea
Kits belonging to locations
Button makers: Youth Development will buy bulk supplies at the start of the new calendar year for each of the regional button makers. If more supplies are needed during the year, location budgets need to be used.
Kits that rotate
Storytime board book tubs
In an effort to model early literacy best practices, collections of board books have been developed for Black Storytime, Book Babies and Tiny Tots storytimes. The collections are gathered into gray tubs (crates) and rotate monthly from branch to branch.
