Good Behavior Incentive Day (Benzonia)

The Benzonia Public Library hosted a Good Behavior Incentive Day for the children from the local schools on 27th January. There was also a Maker event on the following day that was open to the public.

The children got to explore several activities like crafts, button making, Ozobot and 3D printing.

Here are a few images from the event:
