Explore the library on a constellation hunt and discover the stories written in the stars!

Look to the stars without ever leaving the library during our week-long Constellation Walk! Pick up a worksheet and pencil at the front desk, then explore the library in search of constellations hidden throughout the building. As you discover each constellation, draw it or write down a fact you learned along the way. Once you’ve completed the activity, return your sheet to the front desk to earn a prize!

Each constellation display will include fun facts about its shape, mythology, and the best time of year to spot it in the night sky. This self-guided activity is a fun way for kids and families to learn more about astronomy while celebrating the clear summer skies and the wonders of space. Stop by anytime during the week and see how many constellations you can find!

If you have questions, please contact the La Plata Branch at 301-934-9001 or email laplataref@ccplonline.org.
