you know that the State Library of Ohio offers four NASA@ My Library Space Science–themed programming kits for libraries to borrow? These kits are perfect for enhancing your summer programming and can help bring engaging, hands-on space science experiences
to your community. Public libraries can request them at any time—learn more and submit your request on the State Library of Ohio’s

understand their place in space and how the Sun and Moon impact our planet. Major content areas in this kit include: modeling both lunar and solar eclipses with easy to use tools, detecting ultraviolet light in a creative way, using sorting cards to explore
concepts relating to size, distance, and temperature, and an experiential activity that allows for a greater understanding of the vast scale of our Solar System. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
