Scientific paper

We present highlights from an on-going astronomy outreach program for all ages, being conducted by a collaboration of astronomers both professional and amateur with the local public library in Athens county in Appalachian Ohio. The elements of our program include a two-part series of exhibits, a public lecture series highlighting women or minority astronomers or astronauts, and five `Space Days' with hands-on astronomy activities for grades 4-6. Complementing these are the extremely popular telescopic observations of the Sun or the night sky. We are making a special effort to reach homeschooled children.
We gratefully acknowledge funding from a NASA/STScI IDEAS grant.
