> Greetings everyone!
>
> I've recently begun working with a county library system interested in promoting science. They've dedicated a space at one of their branches and plan to develop kits, activities, speakers, and other hands-on programs. We plan?to have monthly themes and I'd like to tie these around some of the existing promotional efforts for science. For example, we are doing chemistry in October because of National Chemistry Week. What other science-related dates exist out there? If there are organizations that put out promotional materials, do you have contact information? I'd be glad to share the compiled list with the group.
