A NIGHT TO REMEMBER Create the Perfect Stargazing Experience
Many children are fascinated by the mystery and beauty of outer space, but most of us lose that reverence as we get older. That doesn’t have to be the case! A night of stargazing is the perfect way to bond with your kids or grandkids and let your inner child loose. You can bring a free telescope if your local library has a Library of Things program.

It’s also wise to pack some snacks and plenty of water. Further, you can step up your game by bringing binoculars or a star map. Just remember, leave nothing behind so the next amateur astrologists can enjoy their experience as much as you did.
