Tompkins County Public Library Announces Children’s Website Astronaut

The Tompkins County Public Library launched a new children’s space-themed website on November 20th but soon decided the site needed an astronaut to keep kids company while navigating its pages. After narrowing it down to five very promising animals, they opened up the polls and let the public vote for their favorite ‘webstronaut.’ Twenty-five days and 66 votes later, the results are in and Mars-Rover the dog has prevailed. Named after Cornell’s Department of Astronomy and their involvement in the mission to Mars, Mars-Rover the Dog received 31% of the votes. Visit Mars-Rover the Dog @ http://www.tcpl.org/ .
