LASER LIGHT with Mad Science
Wednesday, November 14th

This Mad Science® of Greater Boston workshop takes a detailed look at the world of lasers, light, color, and related scientific concepts. The fundamental concepts necessary for a good understanding of laser light will be covered in an entertaining discussion and illustrated in a brief demonstration. The children will be introduced to the laser and then the real fun begins! In a series of interactive demonstrations, the children will explore the laser‘s beam, discovering its peculiar properties. To illustrate the laser‘s practical applications, a series of demonstrations and discussions will include the performance of painless laser “surgery”, an exciting look at how holograms are made, and a mini laser light show. Suitable for children ages 8 and up. Space is limited. Please pick up a ticket 30 minutes before the program. For more information call 781-316-3234.

More About Edith M. Fox Branch Library & Community Center
Edith M. Fox Branch Library & Community Center is a branch of the Robbins Library. It is open three days a week, and has a variety of fiction and nonfiction titles for adults, young adults as well as children, in addition to newspapers and magazines. Small collections of videos and large type print books rotate from the Robbins Library to the branch on a regular basis. CD-ROM games for children are available to borrow. Infant-toddler programs, pre-school storytimes and sing-alongs are offered.
In 1965, the Robbins Library learned of a bequest from Edith M. Fox for expansion of the East Branch building. In 1969 the building was completed and named for its chief benefactor. The library was closed briefly from July 1989 to June 1990 due to economic constraints, but reopened in July 1990 after Arlington residents voted additional funds in a referendum. In 1994 the building became a library and community center.
