Please note that Plymouth Rocket's KitKeeper is currently down and they are working to resolve the issue. During this time NASA @ My Library kits are not available to reserve, nor can Library of Michigan staff view any current reservations. If you are awaiting a kit to be checked out and shipped to you, please contact me ASAP so we can get that out to you. I'll update once KitKeeper is up and running again.

While these kits were built for in-person programming, you may also consider creating grab-and-go programming around the projects to serve at-home participants. TO RESERVE A KIT: 1) Reserve a kit via KitKeeper<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,9327,7-381-88855_90022---,00.h…> 2) Schedule and advertise programs for the public during the period your library has reserved the kit. The kit projects and "unpacking" videos are all on our website at www.Mi.gov/NaML<http://www.Mi.gov/NaML> to help you prepare. 3) Return kit to the Library of Michigan on time so the next library can receive it for their programming and complete the required survey. For more information on the NASA@ My Library project in Michigan, please head to our website at www.Mi.gov/NaML<http://www.Mi.gov/NaML> or contact me.
