We’re taking a number of awesome books as our Book Dates of the week, starting with MAKER LAB. Here’s what it’s about:

As seen on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Build, invent, create, and discover 28 awesome experiments and activities with Maker Lab. Created in association with the Smithsonian Institution and supporting STEM education initiatives, Maker Lab includes 28 kid-safe projects and crafts that will get young inventors' wheels turning and make science pure fun. Each step-by-step activity is appropriate for kids ages 8-12 and ranked easy, medium, or hard, with an estimated time frame for completion. Requiring only household materials, young makers can build an exploding volcano, race balloon rocket cars, construct a solar system, make a lemon battery, and more. Photographs and facts carefully detail the "why" and "how" of each experiment using real-world examples to provide context so kids can gain a deeper understanding of the scientific principles applied. With a foreword by Jack Andraka, a teen award-winning inventor, Maker Lab will help kids find their inner inventor and create winning projects for school projects, science fairs, and beyond.

I use my library mainly for e-books—but we still need F2F librarians

I use my library mainly for e-books downloaded from home, but whether it’s 3D printing lessons or specialty manga, librarians are up to plenty else. Let’s pay them fairly.

Alas, not everyone agrees. Torontoist has a well-done article on the Toronto Library Worker’s Union’s quest for better benefits. As the article highlights, this…
