Looking for acquire something out of the ordinary for your library? How about a batch of artifacts from the Space Shuttle? NASA is hoping that libraries (and museums) use the artifacts in displays and exhibits.
Museums and libraries are invited to apply for free NASA space shuttle artifacts, including small items such as astronaut helmets, gloves, and boots, and large items such as shuttle Motion Based Simulators and Crew Compartment Trainers. NASA will retire the Space Shuttle Program at the end of 2010 and is eager for the public to learn about the wonders of space exploration through museum and library exhibitions.
The remainder of the announcement explains the screening process to get a bunch of artifacts. This screening period ends on November 29, 2009.
