Program Guide July - September - 2018

Welcome to the Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory…

and the many reasons to visit during the summer:
• Walking with the Stars: Our low impact, air-conditioned space is open for
walking from 9 am – 2 pm. Twenty-five laps make for an enjoyable mile with
your friends, neighbors, and the occasional celebrity.
• Docu-Mondays: This series of eight engaging documentary films has been
handpicked by Jason Bruecks for your viewing pleasure.
• Children’s Summer Reading Club: Reading Through the Universe will
continue until August 3rd. Join us to learn about the universe, participate in
crafts and enjoy films.
• Observatory Tours: Throughout the summer we will be offering tours of
California’s Best New Tourist Attraction. Join us at 10 am and 5 pm
weekdays to see the inside of the Observatory and get an idea of just what
goes into viewing the stars.

Though much of the Valley slows down during the summer, the Rancho Mirage
Library & Observatory stays as busy as ever. Please visit the Library to take
part in some of the events that we have planned, and to participate in your
community.

Walking with the Stars

If walking is part of your regular exercise routine, there is no need to
abandon it during the hot months. The Community Room at Rancho
Mirage Library and Observatory is open with a walking track, 9 AM – 2 PM
through October.* The Community Room is air conditioned and carpeted
for a “soft” track at 71-100 Hwy 111 Rancho Mirage. Feet and joints will
appreciate a carpeted floor that is much softer than pavement or concrete.

The Library’s Community Room has ample open space for walking plus
a great sound system. The Library offers varying musical selections while

walkers make laps.

Any pace works in the Community Room – brisk to leisurely – with each lap
1/25th of a mile. “For those who count, a very average pace of 3 miles per
hour will yield a mile on carpet in just 20 minutes,” says Aaron Espinosa,
Library Director. It is possible to encounter a local celebrity or cross paths
with an elected official along the way. Striking up a conversation, making

new friends and getting exercise, all without breaking a sweat!

The Library welcomes people with mobility issues, using canes,
walkers, wheelchairs or receiving a helping hand from their

caregivers and service dogs. This program is for everyone and
comfortable shoes/sneakers are the only equipment needed.

Here Comes the Sun: The Surface of the Sun and Space Weather
LECTURE Thursday, September 20, 7–8 p.m.

Day in and day out, the Sun provides us with more than enough warmth here in
the Coachella Valley. It appears to us as a general constant. However, a closer
look reveals that the Sun is a dramatic and dynamic place. The activity on the
surface of the Sun can impact the rest of the Solar System, and that activity is
worth monitoring and predicting—just like the weather here on Earth. This space
weather is increasingly important to our modern lives and will be vital to understand
and prepare for as humanity seeks to venture beyond the protection of the Earth.

FILMS This science fiction drama directed by Robert

Zemickis is based on Carl Sagan’s 1985 novel of

Passengers (2016) Thursday, August 9, 2–4 p.m.
Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, this science
fiction film depicts two people who are awakened some 90
years too soon from an induced hibernation on a spaceship

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
Thursday, September 6, 2–4 p.m.
This science fiction comedy follows the misadventures of
Arthur Dent, who is the last surviving man following the
Earth’s demolition by an alien construction crew. His rescuer,
Ford Prefect, is both an alien and a researcher penning a
new edition of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”

Lectures and film screenings will take place in the Community Room.
