Also on Jan. 17, the University of Michigan Science and Reading Program returns to the library. The three workshops featuring reading and hands on experiments will run from 3 to 4 pm Jan.17, Feb. 21 and March 21.

The workshops will include the following activities:

n Workshop 1: Look Up at the Sky will help children discover star maps and find the brightest stars on their own. Explore the different star pictures - or constellations - that people created long ago. Children will get a chance to make a sundial and see for themselves.

n Workshop 2: Planet Adventures helps children find out what makes something a planet and learn all about the planets in our Solar System.

Is there life beyond Earth? Find out by designing a life form that might survive on another planet. Pre-registration is required. Children younger than 6 years of age are not allowed in the program room..
