New Skill November
Throughout the month of November, students in the WPI Library engaged in a unit titled New Skill November. Each time they visited the library, students were introduced to a hobby or skill that the library houses books about. Students would read a story about the skill, practice the skill themselves, and then have the opportunity to check out books on the topic for more information.
Check out some of the skills we learned about this month!
