We describe the level of light pollution in and around Kirksville, Missouriand at Anderson Mesa near Flagstaff, Arizona by measuring the sky brightnessusing Unihedron sky quality meters. We report that, on average, the AndersonMesa site is approximately 1.3 mag/arcsec$^2$ darker than the Truman StateObservatory site, and approximately 2.5 mag/arcsec$^2$ darker than the roof ofthe science building at Truman State University in Kirksville. We also showthat at the Truman observatory site, the North and East skies havesignificantly high sky brightness (by about 1 mag/arcsec$^2$) as compared tothe South and West skies. Similarly, the sky brightness varies significantlywith azimuth on the top of the science building at Truman State -- the westdirection 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 than0.4 mag/arcsec$^2$ at most along the azimuthal direction. Finally, we describethe steps we are taking in the Kirksville area to mitigate the nuisance oflight pollution by installing fully shielded outdoor light fixtures andimproved outdoor lights on Truman State University's campus.
