Breaker Space Program sets summer dates at Fall River Public Library

The Fall River Public Library, located at 104 North Main Street, will continue its popular Breaker Space program through the summer on June 28th, July 26th, & August 30th from 2-5 p.m.

This monthly tech take-apart program for all ages could also be called be called toy take-a-part; break & make; appliance autopsy; or deconstruction station. Whatever you call it, it’s a fun way for kids and teens (and adults!) to learn how things work, building STEM skills through hands-on practice.

The library will provide patrons with toys, electronics, or appliances and let them carefully take things apart to see what makes them tick. The Friends of the Library and our donors will provide tools and protective gear.

This type of program is growing in popularity as it is a great opportunity for kids to explore how common household items work and expose them to circuitry concepts. Kids as well as adults become familiar with an object’s components, so they can identify how items can be repaired and how to create new ones by harvesting parts.

Our past Breaker Space events, held on Saturdays, were very popular with families. Since the library is closed on Saturdays in the summer, we are holding the June, July, and August Breaker Space programs on Thursday afternoons.
