Library Labs: Astronomy Week
Saturday 9th – Saturday 16th March
Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences in recorded history that attempts to explain everything that we observe in the Universe, from our solar system to distant galaxies to the echoes of the Big Bang.
We have lots of schools events in our libraries to bring children to the stars and back.
This year, we are also delighted to host public events which are open for booking now.
These events are part of our Library Labs: STEAM at South Dublin Libraries programme. Look out for lots more STEAM events coming up throughout the year!
