On Monday (Presidents Day) the library hosted author and Channel 7 Weather Man, Bill Evans. He wrote a book about weather, It’s Raining Fish & Spiders. His book sold out in 5 minutes.
For the 2:30 show, over 250 people enjoyed Mr. Evan’s discussion and slides about weather and his book. We learned a lot about meteorology.
Bill generously took time to pose with his fans (including your librarian!).
Now that’s a packed science library!
POSTPONED.

How many stars were in the sky?
A million? A billion?
Maybe the number is as big as infinity.
Thank you Bruce Goldstone!
Author Bruce Goldstone visited the Science Technology Library and read from his book GREAT ESTIMATIONS on Saturday December 29th. The crowd enjoyed learning about strategies for estimating huge numbers of cherries, paper clips, rubber duckies and more. Bruce had them thinking about numbers and having fun.
Fans were able to purchase signed copies of the book. Thanks to our gift shop for setting up operations in our library. Of course it SOLD OUT.
His next book is on PROBABILITY and he is currently working on one about VISUAL PATTERNS. We hope that Bruce comes back to teach and read to us about those fascinating subjects.
More info about Bruce at his website.
Many thanks to our Library volunteers, Betty, Ava and Kristin for making both sessions run smoothly.

Here’s the Uni Project at Corona Plaza this summer. Our library is going to “curate” a cube at The Uni Project, a one-of-a-kind, portable reading room for New York City.
They set up all over the city, including our very own Corona. Their goal is to share books, showcase the act of learning and improve public space.
We support that! And in donating books to them, we also promote NYSCI. To find out more, go here UNI PROJECT
They’ll be back Saturday Nov 10 in Corona!
