Animal Avengers will feature live, exotic wildlife from all over the world that possess unique abilities at Summer Stories on Wednesday, July 15. Doors open at 10 a.m.; the program begins at 10:15 at the Crestview library, 1445 Commerce Drive, Crestview.
Sight, sound, touch, strength and movement allow these animals to overcome barriers. The audience — recommended for ages 6 and up — will be asked to interact with the animals through “hands-on” volunteering, question and answer, and crowd participation activities. All are guaranteed an up-close, personal experience.
You’ll meet: a Paraguayan screaming hairy armadillo, a boa constrictor, collared aracari (toucan), an Argentine black and white tegu and a Brazilian salmon pink bird-eating tarantula!
We’d like to thank the Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative for funding this event, so it is free for you!
Registration is not required. Please visit www.animaledzoocation.com for more details or call me at 682-4432 with questions.
Heather Nitzel is the Crestview Public Library's youth services librarian.
