After a planned session for helping children learn to choose healthy snacks fell through, the resourceful staff of the Silver City Public Library went to Plan B, and showed attendees how to make an Extending Grabber. You can find instructions for this project at http://www.instructables.com/id/Extending-Grabber/.
The Library has lots of fun activities for youngsters this summer. Visit the Grant County Beat Calendar to find out what's coming up.
