Vetted Performer: Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center
The Vetted Programs were created by request from SELCO public library directors and intended to involve less library staff time dedicated to individual programming plans. Library staff expressed a desire for a simple, turnkey program approach that they could easily implement and manage for their communities. SELCO and the Vetting Committee maintain a catalog of performers on contract with SELCO to provide their services. Eagle Bluff's STARLAB features an inflatable planetarium to showcase stars and constellations, and provides an accurate environment for discussing stories and history relative to Minnesota night skies throughout the seasons.
