23rd Annual Summer Reading Club (2018)

Welcome to the 23rd Annual Summer Reading Club

It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to our 23rd Annual Summer Reading Club—Reading Through the Universe.
Each week we will focus on a planet. Our days are broken down in the following categories:
• Milky Way Monday: STEAM/STEM Projects
• Big Show Tuesday: Guest Performances
• Warped Wednesday: Special Projects & Guests
• Terrestrial Thursday: Arts and Crafts (usually based on the weekly planet)
• Film Friday: Latest Theatrical Release Film (with fresh popcorn)
Participating in summer reading programs helps increase reading skills and prevents the summer slide.
We’ll see you in the Library as we take a journey together by Reading Through the Universe.

Earth years.

6. Uranus has 13 rings. The inner rings are narrow and dark.
7. The atmosphere is made mostly of molecular hydrogen and atomic helium with

a small amount of methane. The clouds also contain a great deal of hydrogen
sulfide, which means Uranus smells like rotten eggs

9. Uranus has 27 moons.
10. Only one spacecraft has flown by Uranus. In 1986, the Voyager 2 spacecraft
