On Thursday, July 18 at 7:00 pm the Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer County Library System will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Moon landing on July 20, 1969, with a presentation packed with historic photographs and vintage concept art by lecturer Kevin Woyce. This presentation brings back to life the dramatic "Space Race", from the pioneering Mercury and Gemini flights to the first Apollo moon landings and the lesser-known scientific missions that followed. Along the way, Kevin Woyce will introduce the visionaries and scientists who made space travel possible, and the American astronauts who boldly traveled "Where no one has gone before."

Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer County Library System - 2751 Brunswick Pike, Lawrenceville. Registration is suggested. For more information about the library's programs call 609-883-8294, e-mail lawprogs@mcl.org or visit www.mcl.org.
