STAR Net facilitators, bringing many years of experience building the STEM capacity of public library staff, will work with each state library to customize the workshop experience based on the needs and interests of public libraries within that state. These workshops will use materials from the circulation kits and highlight best practices in using those materials but the strategies, activities and resources shared during the workshop will be useful to attendees whether they have access to a circulation kit or not.
The goals of these solar science workshops are to help library staff: 1. Build off the excitement of the and solar eclipses, and engage their patrons in solar science activities 2. Safely and effectively facilitate direct e. Masks are not required, but encouraged. Washington State Library LibCal.
