  We describe the level of light pollution in and around Kirksville, Missouri
and at Anderson Mesa near Flagstaff, Arizona by measuring the sky brightness
using Unihedron sky quality meters. We report that, on average, the Anderson
Mesa site is approximately 1.3 mag/arcsec$^2$ darker than the Truman State
Observatory site, and approximately 2.5 mag/arcsec$^2$ darker than the roof of
the science building at Truman State University in Kirksville. We also show
that at the Truman observatory site, the North and East skies have
significantly high sky brightness (by about 1 mag/arcsec$^2$) as compared to
the South and West skies. Similarly, the sky brightness varies significantly
with azimuth on the top of the science building at Truman State -- the west
direction being as much as 3 mag/arcsec$^2$ brighter than the south direction.
The sky brightness at Anderson Mesa is much more uniform, varying by less than
0.4 mag/arcsec$^2$ at most along the azimuthal direction. Finally, we describe
the steps we are taking in the Kirksville area to mitigate the nuisance of
light pollution by installing fully shielded outdoor light fixtures and
improved outdoor lights on Truman State University's campus.
