A special free program will be offered next week in six Greene County communities.

The Greene County Libraries Association is teaming up with the Greene County Board of Supervisors to sponsor the Science Center of Iowa for their “Fantastic Forces” program. Kids will learn about the physics of flight as they explore the four forces that make flight possible including weight, thrust, drag and lift. There will be hands-on demonstrations and audience participation.

The program will take place Monday, July 18th and Tuesday, July 19th. On Monday, the Science Center of Iowa will be at the Paton Library at 10am, the Grand Junction Library at 1pm and at the Rippey Library at 4pm. Then on Tuesday, they will be at the First United Methodist Church in Jefferson for the Jefferson Library at 10am, the Churdan Library at 1pm and the H.F. and Maude E. Marchant Memorial Library in Scranton at 4pm.

The programs are free and open to the public.
