12:40:44	 From  Paula Nemes  to  All panelists : How was April chosen for Cit Sci month? For libraries, April also has National Library Week, National Poetry Month, Financial Literacy month . . .  So much to celebrate!
12:40:47	 From  Awnali Mills  to  All panelists : Since, as a library, we plan 7 months out, what is going on in 7 months that we could participate in?
12:45:55	 From  Claire Ratcliffe Adams (she, her) : Awnali, in 7 months NASA is launching the James Webb Space Telescope (October 31). Could be a great opportunity to do astronomy-related citizen science projects, such as light pollution programs. Here's more info about the launch: https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/index.html
12:46:39	 From  Awnali Mills  to  All panelists : Thanks.
12:47:06	 From  Claire Ratcliffe Adams (she, her) : Paula, April certainly is a month of celebration! Citizen Science Month may have been created in relation to Earth Day, I'll bring it up again with Caroline during the Q&A :)

12:56:15	 From  Laurie Fitzgerald : Paula Nemes, April is a crazy month for our Library as well.  We have  Money Smart month in April, and I spend much of my time preparing in April for those classes, however, we planned our virtual classes about science in February in March, highlighting Citizen Science, and then reposting SciStarter classes in April.
12:58:07	 From  Darlene Cavalier : Should folks email you, Caroline, at CarolineN@SciStarter.org if they want to join the new Citizen Science Library Network ?

13:01:33	 From  Margaret Bohlin : Since the Roswell Public Library is in the middle of town with a very small patch of grass and no good area for outdoor activities, are there good projects that would work for our patrons?
13:01:56	 From  Margaret Bohlin : It would be lovely if the library was next to a park.
13:02:54	 From  Margaret Bohlin : What was the last one mentioned?
13:03:06	 From  Claire Ratcliffe Adams (she, her) : iNaturalist
13:03:16	 From  Awnali Mills  to  All panelists : It seems that the things that are highlighted on those newsletters are things that are coming up right away.  Our lead time is so long, that it's frustrating to see such great things that we could have participated in if only we had had a longer lead time.  Is this something that you could look into doing for us?
13:03:19	 From  Margaret Bohlin : OK
13:03:42	 From  Margaret Bohlin : Thank you!
13:03:45	 From  Paula Nemes  to  All panelists : Our patrons enjoyed programs on star gazing; farming-related: soil, crops, hogs, sheep, cattle, horses;  I know you have some on wind power
13:04:34	 From  Awnali Mills  to  All panelists : I already have a Firefly Count planned for May.
13:04:58	 From  Tammy Montjoy  to  All panelists : Thank you so much for this information.  So excited to start planning fun stuff for our patrons.
