*Sharks! *

June 22 @ 2:00 p.m.

Sharks are not the fearsome eating machines portrayed in the movie “Jaws.”
Explore these unique creatures and their amazing survival adaptations,
while dispelling myths about these “monsters.” This program is suited for
students of all ages. Adults are welcome.

*Mysterious and Dangerous Creatures of the Sea*

June 24th @ 3 p.m.

Learn why some of the mysterious and dangerous creatures of the sea may not
actually be so mysterious or dangerous as you meet and explore with Dr.
Laminaria C. Weed and D.T. This program is best suited for students in
pre-k through grade 6. Adults are welcome.


We challenge our patrons to read books, attend library programs, and
