Nebraska Libraries Invited to Apply for Exhibit by Nov. 19
The American Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office, in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) Human Origins Program, is accepting applications for the traveling exhibition Exploring Human Origins. The exhibition seeks to create an opportunity for a wide spectrum of audiences to engage the complex field of human evolution research in ways that are understandable, fulfilling, captivating, and relevant.
Nationwide, nineteen public libraries will be selected to host the 40-panel, 1,200-square-foot exhibition for four weeks each between April 2015 and April 2017. The exhibition will include at least two interactive kiosks, a display of skulls, and two DVDs. Full guidelines and an online application are available at http://apply.ala.org/humanorigins. The application deadline is Nov. 19.
