The Great American Eclipse is almost here, which makes now the perfect time to pick up a book about a popular and fascinating topic: space.
When I was younger, one of my favorite books was Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass. It tells the story of three young teens who visit the Moon Shadow Campground to view a rare solar eclipse in totality. The way the author described the beauty of an eclipse and the science behind it made me very interested in learning more about them. I looked up future eclipse dates to find out if I would ever get the chance to see one myself. I was so excited when I saw that, in 2017, an eclipse’s path of totality would pass directly through Wyoming—but at the time it seemed so far away!Read More
Hi, I’m Elaine Hayes and I’ve been happily traveling by myself internationally for a couple of years. In 2015, I did a solo Mediterranean cruise, and, in 2016, I visited London and Paris on my own. In September of this year, I’m heading off to Washington D.C., and in June 2018, I’m on a solo Northern European (Baltic) cruise.
Hello. My name is History of Rochester. I happen to be the oldest book in the Laramie County Library. Yes sir, I was printed in 1838. That means your grand pappy’s grand pappy was a young man.
People listened intently to their radios on Sunday, October 30, 1938—nearly 1 million listeners believed that a real, honest-to-goodness Martian invasion was underway. Panic spread throughout the country. In New Jersey, terrified civilians jammed highways, hoping to escape the alien marauders.
Introduction from exhibit curator, Sue Sommers:
Are you a star gazer like me or just a science geek? Granted it is much harder to get excited about the billions and billions points of light out there because of light pollution. Regardless, I love to watch the night skies.
LCLS offers two e-book libraries, in partnership with the Wyoming State Library and other Wyoming libraries.
We have a very busy summer planned and are looking for some volunteers to help us out!
