Libraries Partner with Discovery Space Children’s Science Museum

CLEARFIELD – The libraries in Clearfield County have partnered with the Discovery Space Children’s Science Museum in State College.

The Joseph & Elizabeth Shaw Public Library in Clearfield, Curwensville Public Library and DuBois Public Library are all pleased to announce that interested families may check out an admissions badge to Discovery Space beginning Tuesday. The pass will admit one entire family into the museum free of charge.

According to the Discovery Space Web site, the museum is an interactive children’s science museum designed to stimulate curiosity and spark imagination as children learn about the world around them. Families can learn and play together as they explore Discovery Space’s ever changing exhibits.

There are a variety of displays for children of all ages. Children can try out the latest exhibits made by Penn State’s Mechanical Engineering Design Class, visit “Dinosaur Dig,” or check out “Weather Station” and “Invention Bench.” Additionally, Discovery Space offers programs for babies and preschoolers during the week.

The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m.  To learn more about the museum, visit here.

One admissions badge is available for checkout from each of the three libraries. Families may utilize the pass any time during the seven-day checkout period.
