Combine the power of reading with the power of nature! In this 1000 Hours Outside Community Episode, Lori and Kelly walk us through how they started outdoor programming at their local libraries and all of the benefits they've seen from their implementations.  They cover many other topics as well. Lori talks about being a 1000 Hours Outside grandma and Kelly talks about their transition to homeschooling during the pandemic. Kelly also runs The Detroit Butterfly Nursery and is a citizen scientist about all things pollinators.  You can learn more about Lori and what she is heading up at the Monroe County Library Ellis Branch in Michigan here >> https://mymcls.evanced.info/signup/calendar?et=20&nomobile=1 .
