Be amazed by the talents of a diverse group of Animal Ambassadors that build complicated structures. In nature, many creatures contribute to the success of others by building homes and creating places to rear their young. We’ll study the architectural feats of nest building, burrow making and web spinning as well as how structures created by some animals help others to survive. We’ll explore how we too can help our wild neighbors by building bird boxes and frog ponds. Library patrons will meet live Animal Ambassadors such as a Red- Foot Tortoise, a Monk Parakeet, a Mandarin Duck, a Chilean Rose-Haired Tarantula, a Ferret, an Argentinian Horned Frog, an African Hedgehog or African Porcupine, and a Flower Mantis. We will also see artifacts & photographs representing one of nature’s most prolific builders, the Beaver, along with Bird & Paper Wasp nests. And together, we’ll draw parallels with our own lives while exploring how we can build a better world!
Recommended for children ages 4+, sign up required. Call or visit the library for more information.
Kids Ages 0-5 are invited to participate in Storytime in the Community room. We will read a book, do a craft, and sing songs. No registration required.
