<div>If anyone happens to be going to ALA Midwinter, BedTime Math will be one of the exhibitors. I will be going and plan to stop by their booth. Personally, and from what I can tell so far, I think their program is a good way for libraries to contributing
to the STEM effort in K-12.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">We’re thinking about implementing the BedTime Math program this summer at our library. It looks like a lot of fun and a worthwhile investment of our time (one of our Associates taught elementary math in the past, tho all of our Youth staff
are pretty excited). I was hoping to hear responses from other libraries who’ve tried it, specifically how you treated the 8 week timetable and getting kids to come to each one. It doesn’t sound like every week builds on the next, though many do. How much
of an issue is it if kids miss 1 week? I was also curious to hear if any libraries implement this during the school year and how often.
