If any of you (or your adult departments) haven't completed summer program planning, feel free to get in touch. 

 

I have a new program on pioneering paleontologist Mary Anning for Unearth a Story™ CSLP Summer Reading Club 

Mary Anning: Pioneering Paleontologist
In the early 1800s, Mary Anning, a self-taught fossil hunter from England’s Jurassic Coast, unearthed some of the world’s first complete dinosaur-era skeletons, including the ichthyosaur and plesiosaur. Her discoveries fundamentally reshaped our understanding of prehistoric life and laid the foundation for modern paleontology.  But despite her scientific brilliance, her gender and working-class background meant that Mary was excluded from scientific societies and denied formal recognition.

 

I also have a program (geared primarily to adults) available for Revolution 250: 

Details on these and my other programs on "fascinating women history forgot" are available at tellingherstories.com

I also offer many programs for children that I can present or you are welcome to use, plans are at https://carolsimonlevin.blogspot.com/
