Summer Fun

Submitted by Hugo Ortega on Thu, 07/12/2012 - 1:50pm

The Summer Reading Program is halfway done but it is not too late to participate. Our previous program was the Harris Country Traveling Naturalist. Families that attended the program were able to see snakes, frogs, birds, rabbits, and turtles! We learned about our symbiotic relation with our urban environment and what to do if we find an animal in our yard. Next week we will have Ronald McDonald on Wednesday at 11 a.m. There will also be a Shark and Ray program in the afternoon at 3 p.m. Calendars are available at the front desk.
