Rowan Public Library Expands Homeschool Hangout STEAM Program

Local Homeschool News: North Carolina

Homeschool families in Rowan County, North Carolina, have another place to gather. Rowan Public Library expanded its Homeschool Hangout series this fall to RPL East in Rockwell. Before, it was offered only at RPL South in China Grove (Salisbury Post).

Homeschool Hangout is a monthly STEAM program for homeschool students in grades 1 through 3. This fall, kids built miniature marble roller coasters to learn about force and motion, made rubber band guitars to see how sound moves, and explored states of matter with root beer floats. The library says the program supports its mission of education and literacy while giving homeschool groups a place to come together.

The last fall session is set for Nov. 20 at 3 p.m. at RPL East in Rockwell, and registration is required. The children’s team is already planning spring 2027 activities for what it calls a growing community. Details are at RowanPublicLibrary.org or 980-432-8670.
