Are you a scientist? You can be! This summer, become a citizen scientist with the Palm Beach County Library System.
Spending your summer outside? Keep an eye out for weird and wonderful plants and animals -- you might see something no one else has seen before. Snap photos of the creatures in your area and log them on iNaturalist, a free app that documents flora and fauna all over the world. See what your neighbors have shared with the PBCLS BioBlitz project on iNaturalist!
When night falls, look to the skies for your next project. Combat light pollution by recording how many stars you can see at night and logging your results. Submit your findings to Globe at Night Reporter to track light pollution levels in your area. Help astronomers around the world save the starry night!
Anyone can be a scientist this summer. All you need is a keen eye and lots of curiosity. Check out PBCLS on SciStarter for local projects involving the Library!
See the events page for more info on the BioBlitz or the Globe at Night projects.
