Star Books

With Mike Lynch’s Starwatch on March 22 and our galactic-themed escape room this weekend (March 15-17), we’ve got space on the brain at Meinders Community Library.  Try a book that’s like Titanic set in space (These Broken Stars), a series about lady astronauts (The Calculating Stars), a nonfiction guide to stargazing (Stars: A Month-by-Month Tour of the Constellations), or another book from this list with celestial titles.
