The Mad Scientist Returns

Atomic Aja entertained a most enthusiastic and energetic group of eager listeners at our Tuesday, June 29th Summer Reading Program.  From demonstrations of molecule movement in solids, liquids, and gases, to a visual display of water absorbing crystals, to an exciting and engaging demonstration of audio amplification, Atomic Aja educated a crowd of nearly 200.  The science books fairly flew out of the library after the show!

Join us next Tuesday, July 6th, at 11:00 am for The Creature Teacher Summer Reading Program.
