On June 27, participants in the Wiscasset Public Library’s Summer Reading Program became familiar with the workings of the space shuttle program courtesy of Ed Polewarczyk.
Polewarczyk retired in 2008 after 34 years on the space shuttle program. He shared his wealth of knowledge about a typical space shuttle flight, ranging from mission control to the astronauts’ perspectives.
The next Wiscasset Public Library Summer Reading Program will be on Friday, July 13, at 3 p.m. The Chewonki Foundation will present a nature program entitled “Endangered Species.” Participants will learn why animal populations decline, what it means to be endangered, and how to protect these species. Two non-releasable animals will be brought along as part of the program.
