Library Explorers at the Portola Valley Library
The Portola Valley Library will host a Library Explorers program with free, in-library enrichment camp for incoming kindergarteners through fifth graders. Kids will learn through hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) experiences.
This reimagined program is based on its Explorer summer 2021 camps, but was scaled down so kids can enjoy these "bite-sized" experiences without having to register, according to San Mateo County Libraries.
The library is located at 765 Portola Road in Portola Valley.
