Thank you to Claire Parrish at Rice Lake Public Library for letting me know about STAR-Net:  Science Technology Resources for Libraries.  This website, provided by The Space Science Institute’s National Center for Interactive Learning (NCIL)  is a treasure trove of information.  Look here for grant information, suggestions for programming around the August 21 solar eclipse (and an opportunity to get special eclipse viewing glasses), resource guides for programming around building, earth science, space, science and MORE.  Webinars, success stories from other librarians, and a place to pose your own questions and ideas…I am just scratching the surface here.  Check it out!!
