<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">The Novi Public Library recently received a grant and generous donation to create circulating STEM/STEAM kits. Our kits will focus on children in grades K-6<sup>th</sup>. We would
like to know what items other libraries have included in their STEAM kits along with pros or cons for items. We are also interested in hearing about circulation rules (how long is the checkout period, how many kits checked out per card, holds allowed on kits,
overdue fines, damaged/missing pieces, etc.). Any information that you can share would be greatly appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
