Build boxes encourage children to create and explore. Boxes are available for in-library use only.
Build boxes circulate only within the library for a 2 hour period. There are no fees for late returns or missing components, only for unreturned boxes. They may be used anywhere within the library and though they are of high interest to children, they may be used by teens and adults as well. With the Build Boxes, any space can be a maker space.
