"I'm bored."
"There's nothing to do."
"Is it time to go back to school yet??"
Sound familiar? (Okay, maybe not that last one!) Our #ScienceInTheSummer Squad is visiting Bruce County Public Library branches across the region this week, so there's no better time than now to check out a list of STEM must-reads this summer.
Head over to your local library branch or explore your area's ebook collection and beat those "I'm boreds" once and for all!
And don't forget to follow us on Instagram @niiexplore to find out where out Science in the Summer program is heading each week—along with some fun STEM experiments and other boredom busters.
