        | Finding North Friday, February
        3, 2023, at 10:00 AM Grades: 5th and up
        | Length: 60 minutes |  |  | | Finding North brings to life the
        powerful stories of the strivings, sacrifices and dreams of John P.
        Parker, a former enslaved man who dedicated his life to helping
        enslaved people escape through the Underground Railroad in southern
        Ohio. Drawn from historical research, Parker’s tale is woven together
        with verbatim interview material and oral histories from contemporary
        community members who tell their stories of searching for haven. |

        | Doktor Kaboom and
        The Wheel of Science! Friday, April 14, 2023, at 10:00 AM Grades: 3rd to 8th
        | Length: 60 minutes |  |  | | Doktor Kaboom is having trouble picking his favorite
        science demonstrations, so he’s bringing them all! Doktor Kaboom has
        built a great big spinning wheel and labeled it with everything from
        optical illusions to chemical reactions to a homemade hovercraft, and
        more! At least a dozen fantastic demonstrations ready to go. Wherever
        the wheel stops, that’s what’s next! |
