Jet -- Jet Kofoot, President Association for Rural & Small Libraries Librarians are the secret superheroes of the world! - - John Green ?PLACE: Public Libraries Advancing Community Engagement: Environmental Literacy Through Climate Change Discussions The Califa Library Group is accepting applications for mini-grants to librarians in rural public libraries and under-resourced urban libraries who are interested in providing science-based adult programming focused on local weather challenges and threats. The project, which is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will build your capacity to plan and facilitate science-based library programs in partnership with NOAA scientists. The library programs use videos and popular books to engage audiences and promote discussion. The professional development will include interactive webinars, online learning materials, peer support, and video case studies of similar adult STEM programs. Participating libraries will receive program materials, a planning guide, marketing and promotional templates, and $1,000 for the three-part program series. Costs for the scientist participants will be covered. Through exploration and discussion, participants will become aware of online tools that can provide information for their own community, family and individual planning for extreme weather and other climate events.
