This session will help public libraries catalyze the momentum from the 2017 Solar Eclipse to make plans to participate in other charismatic STEM events in the coming year, partner with local and national STEM organizations (like NASA!), and find innovative ways to help their community see them in a new light. Presenters will discuss future STEM events, transformative stories from Eclipse participant libraries, and guide participants in their own future planning. Representatives from the National Center for Interactive Learning at the Space Science Institute (the STAR_Net Program), NASA, and public libraries will comprise the session panel.
