Program Description

Event Details

Lancaster Public Library’s Summer Reading Program is a community tradition that promotes reading for fun and lifelong enrichment. This summer, we are offering a rich variety of programs to spark curiosity, imagination, and learning across all age groups.

Become an engineer for a day when you attend our hands-on workshop! Create your own bridge using a variety of materials, engineering skills, and teamwork 🌉

  • Learn about balance, shapes, and teamwork.
  • Find out how much weight your bridge can hold!
    • Is it one of the strongest designs?  

This class is perfect for curious kids who love to build and want to learn how engineers design bridges in real life.
