Well, apparently reservations are still not going through, though on our end we do have current reserves back up - so if you previously placed a request, they will get to you!

 

Meanwhile, please make a reminder to attempt a new “reserve kit” in your calendar, hopefully Plymouth Rocket will have that back up asap.

 

Thanks for your patience,

KitKeeper is back up, so feel free to resume reserving NASA @ My Library Kits to support your programming year-round. Also note that 2023 & 2024 both bring eclipses…  8)  You can view a new webinar recording from STARnet on Solar Eclipse Activities for Libraries at: https://www.starnetlibraries.org/event/solar-eclipse-activities-for-libraries-faq-webinar/.

 

You can also register now to receive FREE ECLIPSE GLASSES for your public library: https://www.starnetlibraries.org/about/our-projects/solar-eclipse-activities-libraries-seal/.

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.

Thank you for understanding,

Subject: NASA @ My Library Kits available again!

 

It’s a happy Monday that I get to share that the Library of Michigan’s NASA @ My Library Kits are back in circulation for Michigan’s public libraries! 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

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 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 or contact me.  This program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.


Thank you,
