About the Presenter:
Dr. Stephan Frank, PhD was born, raised, and educated in the South of Germany (with a short, but meaningful interval in Edinburgh, Scotland -- where he met his wife). He came to America in 2002 to continue a career in physics at The OSU Astronomy Department's Graduate Program. Earning his PhD from OSU in 2008, and beginning his first stint as a PostDoc, led to his return to Europe, where he worked for three years in Marseille. In 2011, Dr. Frank returned to OSU (and Otterbein University), both in research and teaching, with a focus on outreach and education to the public. Besides Astronomy, there is always: running (14 completed marathons, which my wife potentially somewhat correctly calls a bit obsessive), soccer (which even I call myself obsessed), boardgaming (yes, there is one of the largest clubs right here in town, and I am a long term old member), etc etc. Oh. And not to forget: my two girls keep me extremely busy as an educator and entertainer! I have retained the ability to speak German, babble incoherently in French, and can decipher Latin.

Bexley Public Library
Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
