Tuesday, November 5 | 10:15-11:45 a.m. or 2:30-4 p.m.
Celebrate outer space and the night sky with fun space-themed crafts, learning about and creating our own star stories, astronaut-in-training activities, and more. No registration required.  

Make and Meet: Scribblebots With Author Jasmine Warga  
Best for ages 8-14
