Interested in introducing Citizen Science into your library’s programming and circulating collection, but don’t know where to start? Looking for ways to support homeschooling youth?
Join partners who received Citizen Science Kits from NNLM Region 7 to discuss how their libraries have supported science education and programming with a focus on homeschoolers. Panelists will address why they pursued these programs, how they catalogued the kits and introduced them to their communities, as well as lessons learned and what other libraries should know if they’re interested in similar projects.
