Plumb Memorial Library in Shelton to host end of summer reading party

Day: Saturday, Aug. 10
Time: 11 a.m .- noon
Location: Plumb Memorial Library, 65 Wooster St., Shelton

Children 5 years old and older who have participated in our Summer Reading Program are welcome to join us to celebrate their reading accomplishments as they are educated by Animal Embassy. 

Through this educational program, children and their caregivers will meet a variety of animals that live on land, as well as their relatives that live very different lives under water. 

We'll learn about floating vs. sinking, and we'll discover other adaptations that help these creatures to live beneath the surface or on dry land. 

Caregivers must remain with their children for this program.

Registration is required for children only.
Register by calling 203-924-1580 ext. 5108 or online: https://engagedpatrons.org/EventsExtended.cfm?SiteID=2661&EventID=523200&PK=
