Heroes of the Animal Kingdom with Animal Embassy

With this interactive, educational and entertaining program, library patrons will meet a diversity of animals who lead heroic lives! While firefighters, doctors, librarians and police officers are heroes who work to enrich our lives and support us, animals too are heroes that help us as well as each other. We’ll learn how some tortoises dig burrows that provide homes for hundreds of other species during at least one stage of their lifecycle. We’ll explore how a variety of animals keep us healthy by eating disease-carrying insects. We will also discover how some animals dig trenches for their offspring, while others adopt orphaned babies, and how animals help to plant forests as well as fruit trees! Meet Animal Ambassadors such as a Solomon Islands Monkey-Tailed Skink, a Red-foot Tortoise or African Sulcata Tortoise, Green Tree Frogs or Red-eyed Tree Frogs, a Bull Snake, South American Chinchillas Chinchillas, a Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula and perhaps a Spectacled Owl or Eurasian Eagle Owl! Ice Cream Social to follow.
