‘Scopes in the City

The Adler Planetarium sets up telescopes at Portage-Cragin on Monday, October 19, from 6 to 8 PM, offering a chance to observe the Moon up close. Simply drop by the library branch and look through their equipment; no registration is required. Telescope viewing depends on the weather, so plans may shift if clouds roll in. The evening is part of the 2026 One Book, One Chicago season, tied to Samantha Harvey's *Orbital*.
