NIU STEM Read will collaborate with the Midwest Museum of Natural History, 425 W. State St. in Sycamore, for three events in the next three months.

The first event will be 4-6 p.m. Oct. 2 and will be based on Katherine Applegate’s “The One and Only Ivan,” a book about a gorilla’s move from a mall to a zoo, according to a Midwest Museum of Natural History news release. Go to mmnh.org/calendar for a list of events and descriptions. All events with STEM Read are free.
