Monday, November 10, 1-2 pm

Learn about the reptiles and amphibians that call Minnesota and Wisconsin home. The audience will get to watch a salamander eat, debunk turtle myths, touch snakes, and more! Meet a tiger salamander, 1-2 native turtles, 3-4 native snakes, and 2-4 exotic reptiles (just for fun). Time is reserved after the presentation to touch and hold the reptiles for a truly hands-on experience!

Registration required. Details below. 

Take an unforgettable journey through the universe from the comfort of the library inside an inflatable planetarium. 

You will enter the dome and be introduced to a star filled sky. Learn to identify every planet in our solar system in dramatic flights towards each world. Discover how Greek Mythological heroes of the past can be found in the stars. You will also witness the night sky in different seasons and from different global perspectives.  

We have 5 sessions, each designed for a specific age group. The afternoon sessions are held for our Early Release program for students. NOTE: ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST SIT ON THE FLOOR. (NO CHAIRS ALLOWED.)  Adults, feel free to bring a cushion or stadium seat. (Melissa will do her best to help you back up if you need!)  

Registration is required. Sign up here.
