It meets every second Monday. In November, families build an easy-to-make fishing game and use magnets to make it work, then play it together. It is a gentle first look at magnetism for preschoolers and early grade-schoolers; the library lists it for preschoolers and children 6–11. The hour-long drop-in needs no registration, but supplies are limited, so arrive on time. ## Similar picks in San Francisco - [Science Lab: Magnetic Fishing Game (San Lorenzo Library)](https://grassyknees.com/san-francisco/activities/science-lab-magnetic-fishing-game-san-lorenzo-library--listing-11c5166f01a724577db8885d) — Sun, Nov 8 · 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM · Alameda County Library – San Lorenzo Library (Greenhouse Community Room) · Ages 6–12 · Free · checked Oct 24.
