In the summer of 2019, 16,000 libraries across the country will celebrate space exploration in their summer reading programs. The slogan
“A Universe of Stories” was chosen by library professionals to help inspire children of all ages to dream big, believe in themselves, and create their own story. The
Collaborative Summer Learning Program and
STAR Net are partnering to share
STEM resources with these libraries.
This summer learning program will coincide with NASA’s
60 years of achievement and its celebration of the
50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing.
This is a free program funded primarily by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. All giveaways, resources, and activities are available at no cost.
In order to participate, your library must be a public library within the United States and register at:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/universe-of-stories-registration
The
2019 Summer of Space campaign does not require a paid subscription. You will, however, receive one newsletter a month highlighting resources.
You can register multiple libraries and branches in your system
separately, providing an email address and point of contact for each.
The benefits of registering are: Access to
STAR Net’s webinar series, a chance to win everything from a telescope, tactile books, and Scholastic books to NASA Stickers and calendars. New and exciting activities that connect well with
A Universe of Stories and blogs highlighting events and competitions around the U.S.
