Featured Programs -
Insect Discovery Lab
Get acquainted with some of the critters that are native to tropical rain forests. Giant millipedes, hissing cockroaches and walking sticks are a few of the insects that you might see and pet as you learn about the important roles these fascinating creatures play. Understand why arthropods – insects, spiders, millipedes, and the like – are every bit as deserving of our protection as are larger animals like snow leopards and spotted owls.
Insect Songs with Sandi & Stevie
March in time with the Marching Ants, hop! hop! hop! with the Green Grasshopper, learn the infamous Itchy Itchy Dance with the Itchy Flea and buzz, fly & zoom around with the insects as Sandi & Stevie sing and perform The Greedy Wasp, Zzzooming Everywhere and Beautiful Butterfly. Using a combination of humor, fantasy and reality, Sandi & Stevie help teach kids about the habits of our insect friends and encourage us to live in harmony with them.
These and many other Summer Reading
Events are offered at our libraries! - See
