The Northwest Branch of the Reading Public Library hosts a STEM session built around a marble run. Children and teens work with a kit provided by the library, putting together tracks, ramps and turns and then sending marbles through to see how the run holds up.

The program runs on a Wednesday afternoon at the branch on Schuylkill Avenue in Reading. It is open to kids and teens, and younger children are welcome with a grown-up to help. The kit stays at the library for everyone to use, so there is nothing to bring.

There is no charge to take part. For questions about this program or to check on space, contact the Reading Public Library or visit the event page on the library's website. All Reading Public Library locations are accessible.
