Cornerstones of Science is an award-winning national science literacy initiative originating from Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick, Maine, USA. The mission of Cornerstones of Science (COS) is to connect children, teens, and adults to science and technology through superb books, programs, and opportunities for community involvement in current scientific issues.
Here you will find science books and book reviews for all ages and reading levels. Links are provided to recommended web sites, teacher resources, science-related scholarships, citizen science opportunities, and current events in science. Upcoming public programs by scientists and science authors are listed on our calendar.
Search our book & DVD lists by author, topic, title, and grade or reading level. Send us your comments about the books you read by clicking on our "submit a book review" link. Children and teens in grades 3-12 may enter our annual Read, Write & Win contest. And, be sure to check out our science games.
COS is made possible through the generous and continued support of COS founder Lee Grodzins, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Maine & national foundations and businesses, and contributions from individuals like you.
I welcome you to this site and wish you well on all your science adventures.
