On Thursday, July 18, at 10:30 a.m., in the Easton branch of the Talbot County Free Library, children of all ages will have the chance to reach for the stars and explore the universe beyond.

Participants will learn the stories of the stars as told by the ancients … and those told by modern science. They will travel across the world and back in time to develop their understanding and decide where the stars came from and what lies beyond them.
