Want to learn more about what we can see in the night sky? What can we see in an urban environment with light pollution? Plenty! Join the Brower Park Library for an evening of stargazing on the sidewalk outside the branch. We’ll learn how to find objects and identify them in the night sky. Due to the upcoming time change and limits of library hours, this will be the last sidewalk astronomy till the Fall.
