About this event

Join us for a fascinating conversation with Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum curator Matthew Shindell about his book, Lunar: A History of the Moon in Myths, Maps, and Matter.

The Library's online author talks are made possible thanks to the generous support of the Long Beach Public Library Foundation: https://www.lbplfoundation.org/.
