Step into our engineering lab and put your creativity, problem-solving, and structural skills to the test in this high-stakes design challenge! Participants will use interlocking plastic bricks to engineer and construct their very own structures. Once the buildings are complete, they must face the ultimate test: our unpredictable weather machine! Each round, a new forecast will be drawn—ranging from a sudden downpour and flooding, to high winds, horizontal rain, a swirling tornado, or the ultimate test of \"everything\" at once. Learn firsthand how real-world engineers design for disaster. Mother Nature is unpredictable—can you outsmart her?

The Friends of the Library is a group of people who love their library. Most are Roseville residents or former residents. The group is overseen by a board of four officers and three trustees who meet to discuss ways to support their library. If you want to volunteer for your public library, raise money for services, equipment, materials and programs not normally included in the annual budget and meet others who love their library, please consider joining the Friends. More information is available on the Friends page of the Library’s website or stop at the circulation desk in the Library.
