Special Programs and Prices for Public Libraries

Here at Science Plus Inc., we really appreciate the work done by libraries and try to support them any way we can.

Each year we create a fun-filled, interactive science program that ties directly into the summer reading theme. To go along with the 2026 theme of "Unearth a Story," we are offering "The Great Dinosaur Detectives," an exciting new program presented exclusively by master storyteller and award winning author Steve "The Dirtmeister" Tomecek. Designed for a family audience, this program takes participants on a trip back in time to discover the work of some of the great dinosaur detectives of the past including Richard Owen, Gideon Mantell, and Mary Anning. Along the way Steve uses real dinosaur fossils (which people are allowed to touch) to show how paleontologists collect clues to unearth the story behind these incredible creatures that once roamed the Earth.

This program can be presented indoors or outdoors (weather permitting) and lasts about one hour. Following the program Steve will be available to autograph some of his highly acclaimed National Geographic books including Dirtmeister's Nitty Gritty Planet Earth, Everything Rocks and Minerals, and his signature book, Dirt.

The fee for this program is $450 for libraries located within 100 miles of New York City or Oneonta, NY. For libraries located outside of these two areas an additional travel fee may apply.

Please note that we only have a limited number of slots available during the summer, so you should book as early as possible. For more information or to book a program, please contact us via email at info@dirtmeister.com or call (917) 797-0965.
