Program Description

Program details

Children's Program

Grades 3 – 5 with caregiver.  Stargaze from the comfort of the Library as we journey through the wonders of the night sky in a portable planetarium. Tom Barry aka “That Planetarium Guy” will use state-of-the-art planetarium software (and a bunch of dad jokes) to point out what the autumn night sky will look like and how to navigate it like a pro. Subjects covered include constellations, mythology, navigation, planets, lunar phases, and meteor showers. Enter the portable planetarium inside our Community Room for this unique experience!
