What: Super Science Programs

Where: Children's Auditorium, Decatur Public Library
Join us this summer for these Super Science programs, where kids can explore science concepts AND make some fun experiments to take home.
All programs have limited enrollment due to supplies, and require advance registration. If the program is full, you can get on the Waiting List. If you register and find you cannot attend, please call (217-424-2900 ext 5) or email us (childrens@decaturlibrary.org) as soon as possible so we can open your spot for someone on the waiting list.
Plan to wear "paint clothes" -- what you might wear if you were painting at school and might get a little messy.
You will receive an email confirmation of your registration, but it may take a little time. Also, be sure to check your spam folder.
Our leader for Super Science is Cheryl Higgs, former middle school science teacher and chemist.
