ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

The Children's Library Discovery Center does Saturday Science Lab every week. this is not a permanent, dedicated space. The Labs sometimes relate directly to our exhibits, but most often cover topics outside of the exhibit content. The labs are also unusual programming for libraries. the programs are facilitated by the Discovery Team, young adult, pt employees. 

Would this sort of offering fall within the broad scope of your proposal?
