## About

A 45-minute winter science program at Cranston's Knightsville branch for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. Kids learn how snowflakes form and run hands-on experiments with ice, so the library asks them to bring gloves or mittens to protect their hands. It is one of the branch's Hands-On Science afternoons, designed for curious elementary students. Registration is required and space is limited; the branch closes at 5 PM.
