As part of the Summer Reading Program, the Pacific Science Center’s Science on Wheels is traveling to the North Olympic Library System to present “A Space Odyssey” at three local libraries.

The presentation comes to the Sequim Middle School, 301 W. Hendrickson Road, at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 9, and 2 p.m. later that day at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St. The Forks Branch Library hosts the program at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10.

Children can cheer on friends and help an “astronaut-in-training” prepare for a trip to the moon, as this show takes off with a demonstration about balloons in the vacuum of space. Attendees can contemplate the real size of the moon, investigate astronomy tools and cheer on a friend as they race at the speed of light.

The theme for the 2019 Summer Reading Program is “A Universe of Stories.” This summertime celebration encourages children to keep reading during the summer break from school and features a reading challenge with prizes and a multitude of events for all ages.

The summer program is supported by the Friends of the Library at all four NOLS libraries.
