Booktalk: Use the approaching fiftieth anniversary of the lunar landing to inspire school- and library-friendly activities.

Snippet: July 20 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the first successful lunar landing. Round up these new Apollo 11 books–along with the ones already in your collection–for a book display/activity table in your library.

It’s STEM Friday! (STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
