Sandy Springs Reads, Sandy Springs’ first annual “One Book, One City” series of events, aims to promote literacy while building a sense of community. Sandy Springs Reads events will engage community members in discussions and activities around a common book.
The 2012 selection is Homer Hickam's autobiographical work, Rocket Boys.
This event, presented by Atlanta Astronomy Club’s “Discover the Night Sky” series and sponsored by Sandy Springs Parks and Recreation, will focus on NASA’s program during the time of the “rocket boys.” There will be telescope viewings and children will enjoy an inflatable planetarium.
