You might think about children's librarians as a source. I know that there
is a group of librarians in Gainesville, Florida who worked with the
University of Florida Natural History Museum and Head Start (several years
ago) to identify (and curate) sound science-related texts for young
children and their families. (Alachua County Libraries, I think.) Since
then, many libraries have made STEM (and STEM storytimes) a focus.
