Star Party with Madison Library District’s New Telescope

– Or maybe Moon Party is a more appropriate term as the moon will be full and glowing obscurely those other lesser night lights. Come take a peak through a telescope at the craters and plains of our closest celestial neighbor. Thanks to the Madison Library Foundation for providing funds that allowed us to purchase this telescope!

If you have a telescope, please bring it to share. The more the merrier is decidedly the rule for any star party!

All activities will meet in the community room.
