Celestial Celebration

Friday, July 17th

Join us for a 

Celestial Celebration

Come see the stars shine at the Thomaston Public Library as we celebrate the mid-point of our Thomaston Reads Together! summer reading program.  The Northern Stars Planetarium will bring their giant inflatable planetarium to the Academy Building, room 208 for two showings.

At 1:30 p.m., we will feature "Our Family in the Sky", a program for K-2nd graders.  The planets are personified as Mr. Sun guides the children through a tour of the Solar System. Includes planets, comets, the moon, and constellations.

At 3:30 p.m., we will feature "Exploring Our Solar System", a program for 3rd - 6th graders. Is Pluto a planet? Explore planets and dwarf planets both as seen in the night sky and as visited by space probes.  This program ends with a dramatic scale model demonstration of the Solar System.

This program is made possible by a generous donation from the Lyman Morse Boatbuilding Col, and is free to the public. Space is limited.  For more details, contact the children's librarian at (207) 354-2453.
