Hello everyone, As mentioned in our last monthly meeting summary, our student organization will be visiting the Lending Library and Educator Resource Center at the Science Museum of Minnesota on Wednesday, April 9th. This a great chance for anyone interested in learning more about the STEM and education side of special libraries! This visit will consist of a librarian-led tour of the spaces, and an opportunity to view many unique items the Library and ERC have collected, including fossil and geological specimens, river process stream tables, and a skull collection.

Date : Wednesday, April 9th Time : 3:30pm - 5:30pm Where : 100 N Chestnut Street, St...
