<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The California Academy of Sciences (CAS) is recruiting libraries to join its
<b>Science Action Club</b> (SAC) project, which equips afterschool programs to bring outdoor learning to middle school youth. With the help of a grant from the American Astronomical Society to extend the SAC project, CAS is offering its materials for free or
reduced cost to selected libraries and other afterschool providers along the April 8 eclipse path of totality. CAS is particularly interested in supporting outdoor learning in rural areas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
