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, up

Communities will receive a series of
engaging, thought-provoking programs and find another reason to love their
local library!
