Discovery Kits

Discovery Kits are now available for checkout at the Tualatin Public Library!

Discovery Kits are grab-and-go totes that include books for both adults and kids along with hands-on equipment to allow learning about a specific subject.

The following kits are available for checkout at the Tualatin Library:

• Ice Age Kit - contains books about Ice Age geology, mammoths, and mastodons, plus a driving guide and a mastodon puzzle

Discovery Kits check out for 3 weeks and are renewable if no one is waiting. Patrons from any WCCLS library can place a hold, but the kits must be picked up and returned at the Tualatin Library. The kits are considered Juvenile materials and are fine-free.

You can find the Discovery Kits with the Library of Things. Please let library staff know if you have any questions about Discovery Kits, including placing a hold on them.
