Water Room at Missoula Public Library

At the new Missoula Public Library, spectrUM and Families First Learning Lab are excited to open a new Water Learning Ecosystem. Located on the Children's Floor of the library, the water learning ecosystem will feature a place-based water table exhibit allowing visitors to visualize and interact with the integrated systems of the Clark Fork watershed. The exhibit will:

  • Spark a sense of wonder and appreciation of our river ecosystem;
  • Develop visitors’ understanding of a river and its floodplain;
  • Inspire deeper connection with the Clark Fork River;
  • Connect with visitors’ everyday experiences with the river; and
  • Make connections with science careers related to water and ecosystems science.
