Wednesdays activities include a movie day at the Springhill branch with Under the Stars. The Heflin branch will hold Build a Plane at 3:30 PM, where participants will explore aerodynamics and engineering by designing their own airplanes with simple materials. The Cotton Valley branch will feature Bridge Building at 4 PM, challenging attendees to construct a weight-bearing paper bridge.

On Thursday, the Minden main branch will host Bridge Breakers at 10 AM, where participants can test the strength of their gumball and toothpick bridges. The Doyline branch will host Build with Beans at 2 PM, the Sibley branch will feature Engineering Bean Towers at 3 PM, and the Springhill branch will hold an Egg Drop Challenge at 2 PM.

The week concludes with Lets Make Bubbles at the Springhill branch at 2 PM. Participants will make their own bubble solutions and test them outside for a fun-filled afternoon.

There are always exciting activities at your local library. The final week of Discovery Camp, Mathematics Week, starts July 1.
