B roward County Library and the Museum of Discovery and Science have teamed up to make science
exciting and fun for our area’s young children so that they become motivated to continue to explore
and apply scientific principles throughout their lives. This partnership and funding from the A. D.
Henderson Foundation has resulted in the launch of a pilot initiative which includes a series of four interactive
Family Science interactive programs offered at eight different libraries throughout Broward County. Each of
the four programs will introduce a different area of science: astronomy, biology, chemistry, and physics. The
programs strive to attract children through carefully selected themes, to engage them while introducing basic
principles through entertaining stories, and to facilitate the application of basic scientific principles through
hands-on experimentation. Further exploration of the particular area science is encouraged through displays of
Library resources and selected bibliographies. Seating is limited. Please call library location to register.
