Wonders of Wildlife

The Children's Summer Reading Club is well underway. It's hard to believe, but we've almost finished our fourth week, and have a mere five to go!

Today Misty Mitchell and some teen volunteers from Springfield's Wonders of Wildlife visited and presented two back-to-back shows about Missouri Animals. The children that attended were lucky enough to meet a red-eared slider turtle, a flying squirrel, a barn owl and a great-plains rat snake. The children who attended also had the unique opportunity to touch several of the animals.

If you missed Wonders of Wildlife do not despair. They will be returning on September 17th at 6:00 p.m. to present a Discover Downtown "Wild Nights" show on the front lawn. Also the Library has numerous other programs during the next five weeks of Summer Reading. Check out the Library Calendar for a complete listing, drop by the Children's Desk and pick up a program guide, or call 417-623-2184.
