Telescope Night

The ever-popular Telescope Night returns (weather permitting) to the Arroyo Seco Library on Tuesday, November 4.  We will begin at 6:00 and wrap things up shortly before the library closes at 8:00.  We should be able to see Saturn and the Moon.  Mark your calendar and plan to drop by.  Do note that the event is weather dependent, so if there are clouds on the day give us a call after 3:00 for word on the status of the program.

For those who don’t know what Telescope Night is…  During Telescope Night a group of local astronomers, the Sidewalk Astronomers, sets up telescopes outside the library and points them at objects of interest in the night sky.  Everyone is invited to take as many turns as they’d like looking through the telescopes.  The Sidewalk Astronomers are very knowledgeable and will answer your questions & chat about how they made the telescopes.  Bring your questions with you.

Arroyo Book Club’s November Pick

image of book cover

November is a fiction month for us in the Arroyo Book Club, so the book we will be reading is Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus.  The catalog says:

“Set in 1960s California, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious, idiosyncratic and uplifting story of a female scientist whose career is constantly derailed by the idea that a woman's place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America's most beloved TV cooking show”

Stop by the branch to pick up a copy to read. You will find them in the usual location, just ask if you don’t know where that is.  

We will come together to discuss the book on Saturday, November 22 at 3 p.m. It will be a hybrid meeting so you have the option of attending in person or via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom let us know at ayosco@lapl.org so we can get the link to you
