Outscoring the Rest of the Network

My experience with the STEM library was fantastic. The library provided me with compasses and trundle wheels that drastically strengthened our lesson on using maps. I wouldn’t have even considered incorporating trundle wheels to the lesson if I hadn’t consulted with the librarians at SLL. – Nick Porras (Lycee Francais)
