North Plainfield Library To Offer Bilingual Math, Science Storytime

From SCLSNJ:SCLSNJ’s North Plainfield Memorial Library branch is one of 10 libraries across the state to be awarded the Math and Science Storytime (MAAST) program grant, managed by the New Jersey State Library and National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER).

“North Plainfield is a wonderfully diverse community and SCLSNJ’s North Plainfield Memorial Library branch is a hub for supplemental education, bilingual literacy, and STEM,” said Amy Behr, youth services department supervisor and MASST grant lead. “Through this grant, we will encourage our youngest patrons and their families to develop a lifelong love for math and science related concepts, while simultaneously strengthening their dual language skills.”
The MASST program is a Spanish-English bilingual storytime series comprised of stories, songs, and activities designed to introduce important science and math concepts to a broader audience, especially for children and families who speak Spanish.
This program series is suggested for children ages 3-5. Each program will be hosted at SCLSNJ’s North Plainfield Memorial Library branch located at 6 Rockview Avenue in North Plainfield.
