Information
In this webinar, you’ll hear from two EDC researchers who have more than a decade of experience evaluating programs that have helped public libraries increase the quantity and quality of STEM resources and programming they offer. They will share what they have learned about what contributes to successful STEM programming in libraries and how integrating STEM into library programming can benefit libraries, their patrons, and their communities. You’ll hear ideas for introducing STEM programming to your library (if you are just starting to explore) or taking your STEM programming to the next level (if your library is experienced).
