Pushing The Limits
Pushing the Limits is a collection of resources for public libraries that includes customized, online professional development about informal science learning (ISL) and public library STEM program materials. Pushing the Limits was originally funded by the National Science Foundation in 2010 to create an initial set of four public library programs and the accompanying professional development materials. The resources were used in 100 libraries nationwide.
The results of this project identified additional opportunities to broaden the role of libraries as ISL community gateways, leading to two new initiatives, Rural Gateways and PLACE.
Pushing The Limits: Book 1. No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl to the outsider, even Echo can't remember the whole truth. But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot loner explodes into her life, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined.
