Event

On Wednesday, September 23rd, the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library will be hosting a celebration of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, at Garvey, from 7 - 8:30 PM. Their head librarian tells me they are trying to attract more kids, with various craft activities. So, we could use an extra turnout of telescopes that night, especially people willing to deal with the younger set. Mark your calendars.
