Tomorrow, May 26th, at 4:30! Join a live YouTube stream by STAR Net's Paul Byrne, hosted by Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants to learn about NASA's Artemis 2 mission and all that transpired on our first journey around the moon in over 50 years, and look ahead to the future of the Artemis program. Paul Byrne is a Planetary Scientist who worked on NASA's MESSENGER mission, the first to orbit the planet Mercury. His research focuses on comparing and contrasting the surfaces and interiors of planetary bodies, including Earth, to understand why planets look the way they do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjwfh2NLHns

Kick off Memorial Day Weekend with your kids at PPL’s Musical Story Time! This Friday morning 5/22 from 10-11am, Crane School of Music professor, violinist Tim Yip, returns to lead an hour of song-singing and story-reading in an event that’s perfect for kids and parents alike.

Support the young readers in your life while helping them to burn off some energy with tunes including Row Row Row Your Boat, the Elevator Song, Zoom Zoom Zoom, and Old McDonald. April’s Musical Story Time was so much fun! We look forward to seeing your faces again.
