Poquoson Library presents Up, Up and Away, stargazing program

The Poquoson Public Library presents Up, Up, and Away!, a program for all ages at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8, according to a library press release.

The library invites all dreamers to experience the magic of flight with former NASA tech Dave Shuster. Learn how helicopters, gliders and hot-air balloons stay up in the air while exploring this and more at this hands-on, mile-high program.

The library also will present a stargazing program for teens from 7-8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug 7. Stargazing will go high-tech as library staff use iPads to map out constellations and experience the night sky. Participants will also design and eat “Starry Night” cupcakes.
