Project Overview

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. The National Eagle Center offers the opportunity to learn all about eagle biology, ecology, natural history and cultural connections in an engaging and entertaining presentation by one of our naturalist interpreters. Programs feature a live eagle ambassador.
