MISSOULA, Mont. - On Monday, May 3, the new Missoula Public Library will open its doors to the public. Inside, SpectrUM has a new Discovery Area for families.Â
The area is a hands-on science center from the University of Montana and now that it s located in the library, families are able to check it out for free.
The space has different exhibits that explore topics like light, health, physics and ecosystems. These exhibits change throughout the year so there s always something new.Â
SpectrUM Director Jessie Herbert-Meny said while the exhibits are a lot of fun, they also do more for kids than just entertain.Â
