All children and teens who take part in the Back Mountain Memorial Library’s summer reading program, “Dig into READING!” are invited to participate in these upcoming special programs.
“Dig Into Diggers!” – Monday, June 17, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. with Chad Honeywell of CB Honeywell Construction. Get up close to a really big piece of construction equipment, learn how it works and why and when it is used. Gather in the back of the library on the auction grounds. Bring your camera. All ages.
“Dinosaurs Rock” – Luzerne County Libraries Program – Wednesday, June 19, 10:30 a.m. at the King’s College Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center. You have the rare opportunity to see and touch genuine and life-size museum quality specimens: a life-size five foot T-Rex skull and foot, a dinosaur egg, trilobites, ammonites and much, much more. It’s an educational, entertaining and totally hands-on dinosaur and fossil adventure. Go to King’s College but register at the library.
“Dig Into Burrowing Animals!” – Wednesday, June 26, 2 to 3 p.m. Kathy Kelchner, Environmental Educator at Frances Slocum State Park, will be at the library to show and tell you about animals that make their homes under the ground. She may even have a few bones to show you. All ages. Children’s Room.
“Dig Into Archeology!” – Monday, July 1, 2 to 3 p.m. Come see the wonders that Theodore Baird has dug up right here in our area. Learn some history and see some artifacts. All ages. Children’s Room.
