Mission: Earth & Space with the Ecotarium
Wednesday, February 5 from 6 to 7 p.m.
Think you need a billion-dollar telescope to be an astronomer? Think again! Uncover the mysteries of the grandest science of them all through hands-on experiments and demonstrations. Build a star, design a satellite, or maybe even create a cosmic catastrophe! Then head outside and peer through a traveling telescope (weather permitting). This program is for ages 6+. Register on the calendar at fiskelib.org.
Read to Sophie the Therapy Dog
Saturday, February 8 from 1 to 2 p.m.
Kids aged 5-10 are invited to come read to Sophie, a therapy dog from Dog B.O.N.E.S. of MA.
Once registered, each child will get an email with an assigned 10-minute time slot to read to Sophie. Register on the calendar at fiskelib.org.
The Poop Museum
Tuesday, February 18 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The Poop Museum is coming to Fiske! The Poop Museum covers the serious science of poop and pooping and is delivered with the silliness that you might imagine accompanying a program about poop for kids. It is the perfect combination of fun, and fabulous, fascinating facts so that kids (and parents) never forget what they learned.
This program is best for kids age 5-10 and will answer questions such as:
• What is poop?
• Does every animal poop? (Spoiler: NO!)
• Does every animal have a butt? (Spoiler: NO!)
• Is there really sweet, tasty poop that you can eat? (Spoiler:YES!)
• Is there really poop that you can play in? (Spoiler: YES!)
• Who is the world’s messiest, fartiest, pooper?
• Which animal does a poop dance?
• Which animal has poop attack power?
• Which animal eats their mom’s poop?
• and much more!
This program is sponsored by The Friends of the Fiske. Register for this event on the calendar at fiskelib.org.
