Libraries all over the country having been dancing with joy having discovered what a perfect fit our Sky Dome portable planetarium is for their Collaborative Summer Reading Theme this year. We are hearing from libraries all over the country and it looks as though our inflatable planetarium domes will be working hard all summer to keep pace with demand!
Many libraries, of course, subscribe to the Collaborative Summer Reading Themes, and this year those themes are “Think Big” and “Own The Night”, so with an absolutely enormous portable planetarium dome, in which we can project the night sky for large groups of kids and adults, Sky Dome is the perfect answer!
With two different Sky Dome tours in the Midwest, we are already scheduled to spend time in Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri to name but a few states. And that's without even mentioning the East Coast states where our third mobile planetarium tour will be hard at work, or California where a fourth tour of Sky Dome planetarium will be amazing children!
And with a $40,000 digital star projector inside, Sky Dome is guaranteed to amaze the kids at your library, too!
The desire to include a portable planetarium in their celebrations has really brought out the wonderful creativity in librarians! Many have found that they just do not have a space large enough to fit our huge planetarium dome within their library. Rather than admit defeat, they have instead arranged an alternate off site location for their event, usually in an adjacent school. In at least one location Sky Dome will be set up in National Guard Armory!
If you represent a children’s library and are looking for a way to promote this collaborative summer reading themes, you should give us a call! You will be very pleasantly surprised by how affordable this mobile planetarium program can be!
