Subject: Planetarium passes for SRP prize!

I contacted planetariums across Michigan this winter hoping for passes to share widely among libraries. Flint’s Longway Planetarium has graciously created a pass for any public library in the state to use as a SRP prize with children. I know many library locations may be too far from Genesee County, but some families may travel, so I would encourage you to maybe tucking the passes in a prize basket of sorts or offering it as an incentive option to families…. If you use the Longway Planetarium pass, please fill in your public library’s name.

Meanwhile, if you are working with a Planetarium in your region, feel free to pass my contact information on to them (they should have an email from me 😉 ) if they’re interested in offering something similar.
