Assela Public Library launched its first STEM Center to for children and youth from around Assela.
For anyone who’s seen the term STEM, but kept it on the periphery, here’s a bit of background. The acronym stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Recently “arts” was added to the educational model, making STEAM an interchangeable term you might also hear.
In school, STEM or STEAM lessons are taught using an integrative approach that shows how each subject relates to and works with the others. This interdisciplinary instruction also closely mirrors how these concept applications function in the working world.
The library would benefit from Information and Communications Technology club and other clubs

Success Stories
“It is clear that the library is very successful. Every single patron talked about the quality of books compared to other libraries. Without making any improvements, the library would be an unbelievable success”.
Michael Mustian, Volunteer from North Carolina
The popularity and interest of the center has been surprising—and what's been happening here has been more than what was expected. When the doors first opened, there was concern that we wouldn't get many users because the library is located at the edge of town, but after it opened--with no promotion or advertising—we were surprised to find 150 people a day utilizing the library.

My favorite part about the new library is the lack of restrictions and limitations. It's different than my school library. Here people can select any book they want and can go wherever they want in the library. I find with my friends a spot where we can study together. We aren't told to be quiet because no one is disturbing or making noise.

It would be great if this Library has also an open TV room for people who are passing through this area, so that by the time they want to get refreshed they can come over and spend some time,”
MohammedLearning Centre member
Since he recently started coming to the library, he’s developed a new routine for his days: he studies his textbook in the morning, then comes to The Learning Centre and looks for additional references to help him understand what he read previously. Then he goes to school in the afternoon, and then stops back at The Learning Centre in the evening before going home
