North Scituate Library: July 2022
by Linda Bergemann
Just prior to this event, we were informed by the library that our planned observing location would be in use for an open air concert, and we would observe from the library property instead. Since our plan was to observe only the moon, location and lighting didn't really matter as long as the moon was visible. Our leader, Bob Janus, selected a location on the front lawn of the library, directly across the street from the town's gazebo and set up his telescope. Jim Hendrickson arrived and set up his telescope, and librarian Hannah Sullivan contributed the library's telescope. Visitors began arriving as we were setting up. Most stayed the entire time chatting with us and each other. During much of our time there, we were entertained by the Jesse Liam Band playing in the gazebo across the street.
