Post Annular Eclipse Required Survey

Thank you so much for joining over 11,000 public libraries, state libraries, military libraries, prison libraries, bookmobiles and other library locations to bring solar science to your community! This survey is meant to capture information about your participation and preparation for the 2023 ANNULAR ECLIPSE ONLY. Another survey will be sent after the 2024 Eclipse in April!
Our funders (Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and NASA) would love to hear about the amazing and innovative programs you've created, and partnerships you may have formed. As a reminder, completion of this survey was a condition of receiving the glasses or education kits, so please help us by providing your valuable response!
1.Contact Information(Required.)
2.Community Type:(Required.)

5.What is the estimated total attendance for solar science related programs provided prior to and during the Annular Eclipse on October 14th? Please type a single number representing the total participation in all programs.(Required.)
6.If you received glasses from STAR_Net, how many other public, tribal, prison or military libraries did you share them with?(Required.)

(Example, did you target promotion to these groups, or save a subset of glasses for them?) Groups underrepresented in STEM fields include Hispanics and Latinos, African Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, the economically disadvantaged, people with disabilities, and women and girls.

If your community would be defined as underserved or underrepresented, please answer "Yes" to this question.(Required.)
