• Introduction to Grant Research Online – Thursday, October 6, at 10 am. This one hour workshop will provide a step by step guide to using the Foundation Center Online’s database of almost 100,000 grant giving foundations and corporations. SML is one of only 400 libraries in the country that provide free access to this “gold standard” grant seeking resource. Workshop participants will learn how to query the database, interpret and analyze the information and build a prioritized list of grant opportunities that will provide the greatest likelihood of success. The workshop is ideal for representatives of organizations that would like to learn how to find grants, those seeking individual grants for artistic or other projects and individuals who want to enhance their resume by adding this valuable skill. Pre-registration is requested for this class.
• International Observe the Moon Night – Join the fun on Saturday, October 8, at 6:30 pm. Bring the whole family and learn about the moon. Kids are invited to wear pajamas and enjoy moon related stories, make a lunar map out of Oreos and howl at the moon outside. Moon pies and juice will be served inside, and then we’ll head out to view the moon. Dress warmly and bring binoculars or telescopes, lawn chairs, flashlights and bug repellent. We will have binoculars on a tripod set up for all to share. We hope to have some experts join us to help us as we view the moon. In the event of bad weather, we’ll just keep the party inside.
