<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The project, which is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will build the capacity of librarians to plan and facilitate
science-based library programs in partnership with NOAA scientists. The library programs use videos and popular books to engage audiences and promote discussion. Through exploration and discussion, participants will become aware of online tools that can provide
information for their own community, family and individual planning for extreme weather and other climate events.
