The Brookfield Library has been awarded a $2,000 grant from the Connecticut State Library for Summer Enrichment Activities for children.  The grant is a partnership between the state and the Institute of Museum and Library Services as part of the Library Services and Technology Act.  Brookfield will use the funding to bring Playful Engineers Traveling MakerSpace to Brookfield from July 12th through 14th as part of their annual Summer Reading Program.  Elementary school-age children will take part in hands-on exploring, experimenting and teamwork activities to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while gaining knowledge of basic engineering concepts such as forces and motion, scale, cause and effect.
