Busy Day for First Responders in Scioto County: EMS Runs High, Crime Stays Steady 

From Park Panic to Aldi Alley: Donald Sharp Arrested Again 

Gunfire, Stick Fights, and a Royal Rumble Leave Cops Scrambling 

National STEAM Day is Sunday, November 8th, and hoopla digital, the category-creating mobile and online service for public libraries is inviting learners of all ages to celebrate the day by exploring its expansive STEAM content offering – the largest and most diverse collection of its kind from a public library digital service. hoopla digital is spotlighting a curated National STEAM Day Content List including best-selling titles in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics, and selections from educators Ty Cook and Tanya Diaz-Rothman. The selections are available via the hoopla digital mobile app or website to anyone with a library card from a participating public library.

“Hoopla digital is home to the largest and most diverse collection of STEAM content available through any public library digital service and we continue to build it. The need for high-quality STEAM content has taken on an even greater importance as students have been forced to pivot to remote learning and we’ve been there to aid their studies at home,” said hoopla digital co-founder Jeff Jankowski. “For this year’s list, we focused on titles that can enhance the virtual learning experience and keep students engaged, even remotely. We’re also sharing titles that can serve adults who are exploring new workplace skills and career paths.”


A Pew Research Center (where SCDN proudly has our press credentials) survey finds that while only 13% of the U.S. currently works in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, nearly half of the U.S. population expressed interest in exploring a career in this field at some point in life.

hoopla’s offering represents diversity and representation of women and BIPOC in STEAM – populations historically underrepresented in the STEAM workforce.

“We’re committed to partnering with our public library customers to provide their patrons with access to the right educational content to pursue a career in STEAM or to simply sharpen their STEAM skillset. We hope this reading list and our full offering of content can spark new interests in these areas and inspire continued education,” added Jankowski.

Each category of the list features a selection from hoopla Bonus Borrows, a collection of 1,000+ titles that patrons have unlimited access to throughout November (without using allotted monthly borrows).
