Color in the Universe

Jun 28, 2021

Have you ever wondered what’s on the dark side of the moon? Or whether space dust is clouding our view of the universe? Everything we see when we look through a telescope or at pictures of stars, planets, and galaxies is made up of electromagnetic radiation and we can only see a fraction of this radiation. But even with our human limitations, there’s plenty to see and explore in our universe! Join Miss Kim on Facebook and the Library’s YouTube channel as she demonstrates a fun Color in the Universe take-and-make kit. Kit will include all supplies needed except for scissors and clothing to paint in. Kits available while supplies last. **Allergen alert: Kit will include sandwich cookies. All ages welcome.

The library is proud to announce our limited edition Social Issues Book Club for Young Adults. In this 6 month series, participants will read one book each month that highlights a particular social issue we are currently dealing with and discuss it at a meeting.

While this program is designed for young and emerging adults, 15 to 25 years of age, teens and adults of all ages are welcome.

At this meeting, we will gather feedback from participants about topics of interest and best times to meet. This program will be held via Zoom and participants need to register at bit.ly/YASOCIALISSUES in order to receive a link to the session. This program series was made possible by the Libraries Transforming Communities: Focus on Small and Rural Libraries Grant from the American Library Association.
