Thank you for crafting with us! All of the current Take and Make kits at the TCPL location have been claimed and are unavailable at this time. Please check with the Sciencenter for the availability of the remaining kits. We're putting together a new Take and Make kit that will be available sometime in April. Any questions or comments, please contact Joah Tang, Library Assistant, by email at jtang@tcpl.org.

A One! A Two! A One, Two, Three, Four! ♪♫♪♫

Get ready to jam with the new Take and Make Kit: Make a Sound Sandwich! This time around TCPL has teamed up with the Cornell Center for Materials Research Families Learning Science Together program, the Sciencenter, and the National Science Foundation to bring you a fun musical STEAM activity. With this kit, you will be able to make a musical instrument similar to a harmonica from the included craft material.

You can now pick up a Take and Make kit at either the Sciencenter or TCPL! The kits are free and given out on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

You can pick up a kit at TCPL beginning March 8 during open hours on both curbside and express browsing days. When using curbside pickup, please indicate your interest in a kit when you call to notify us of your arrival. On lobby days, simply pick one up in the lobby area. For questions, please contact Joah Tang, Library Assistant, at ​jtang@tcpl.org​.

To pick up a kit at the Sciencenter beginning March 10, head to 601 First Street in Ithaca, during open hours, Wednesday through Saturday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Request a kit inside at the front desk! For questions please contact Annie Gordon at agordon@sciencenter.org.

Be aware that supplies are limited and we cannot guarantee there will be kits available at either location.
