As the new year starts, our children’s department is excited to offer a new exploration series for homeschooled students in grades K–5. Each month, Children’s Services will offer a special exploration program at an earlier time of the day, to accommodate most homeschool students’ schedules. This January and February, we will start off with STEM and History Explorations. We hope you can join us!
