2024 Climate Action Symposium Survey
Our friends at the Space Science Institute (leads of the Solar Eclipse Activities for Libraries program) are seeking your input for a symposium<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CKK38BL> meant to begin to identify the role of public libraries in climate action, please see the description below:
This survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CKK38BL> is to inform the design of the 2024 Climate Action Symposium: Exploring Collaborations with Libraries, Community-Based Organizations, and Public Health Agencies
The symposium is part of a project (Building Resilient Communities) funded by the National Science Foundation and led by the Space Science Institute and its STAR Library Network. Project partners include OCLC WebJunction, University of North Carolina Greensboro, and Interactive Learning Dynamics. The focus of the survey is on public library STEM learning programs and activities related to climate change science, climate change's impacts on public health, and community sustainability and/or resiliency. The estimated time needed to complete this survey is 9 minutes. All information you provide will be completely confidential. Data will only be shared in aggregate through reports and papers – no personally identifiable information will be shared.
