Myth-Steries: Stories in the Stars
Place: Rockingham Free Public Library, Bellows Falls, VT
Price: Free
Ages: All
Since the earliest times, humans have looked at the skies, watching their slow, steady changes, as well as the wanderings of the planets and the Moon. But the sky is too far away to touch, or explore. So people made up stories, or myths. Sometimes they tried to explain why the stars and the Moon were there. Sometimes they used the stories to create a system of keeping track of time. Modern science has answered many - though not all - of the questions, and our calendars and clocks keep track of time.
However, the stories linger, and we still look up and wonder, "Why?" Mark Breen, Senior Meteorologist at the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium, VPR’s “Eye on the Sky” weather forecaster, and author of the award-winning children’s book, “The Kid’s Book of Weather Forecasting” will lead you on an exploration of the night sky, its myths, stories, and changes.

The Peterborough Town Library is pleased to host a “Tribute to the American Revolution” by artist Carolyn Carter in the library’s Art Corner and Showcase during the month of July. Mrs. Carter, of Gardner, Mass., is the library’s Exhibit Coordinator and resident artist.
“So many of us take our liberties for granted,” she said, “and somehow through my paintings, drawings, research, and seeking out the unsung heroes, I found myself wanting to share my discoveries and adventures with the people and revisit our heroic past. I created a new painting style the ‘Net Technique,’ giving another added dimension to the work.”
