The Perry Public Library is offering their final after school program before summer this week, and teens and tweens are invited to make their very own rockets.

The event fits with the theme of the Discover Space Summer Reading Program, and is lovingly referred to as “Space Crafts.” Assistant Library Director Misty VonBehren will be running the program, where they’ll turn a few simple items into something fun. “We’re going to build a simple rocket with a film canister, a seltzer tablet, water, and paper. They’re going to design their little rocket, and then the power source is going to be the Alka-Seltzer that’s going to dissolve, and then it’s going to explode. And the rocket’s going to shoot way up into the air! So that’ll be fun for the tweens and teens as well.”

The “Space Crafts” program will be held Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. VonBehren also reminds people that the next edition of the Teen Summer Movie series is this Friday at 4 p.m. They will be showing “Star Wars, Episode One: the Phantom Menace,” as they make their way through all nine films in the series.
