Math 4 Kids
How many nice problems we can solve in the library! Does this seem weird? Definitely not! You'll figure it out with our problem solving and logical games laboratories proposed by Alice Raffaele, postdoctoral researcher in Operations Research at the University of Calabria and University of Padova.
We're gonna have so much fun and in the end you will discover that - no matter your math grades, either high or low - you can fall in love with mathematics and its infinite applications! If you're between 8 and 10 years old ask mum or dad to sign you up! Just call the library at 0307008333 from Tuesday to Saturday: 9-12.30, 14-18.30 or write an email to biblioteca@comune.chiari.brescia.it

Here follows a shelf full of titles about maths and problem solving (unfortunately only in Italian): using the 
button, you can book them with the interlibrary loan service and receive them in the library you select in ten days, or even more quickly.
