SUMMER READING KICK-OFF: DINO DIG

Kick off the summer with this amazing dinosaur show!

Wednesday, June 12th at 7:15 pm

How are fossils formed? Participate in the great herbivore vs. carnivore debate, plus answers to your dino questions. Field paleontologist Mike and Roberta Straka will introduce us to Mr. Nixon, an eight foot Triceratops skull discovered in 1966 and an Albertosaurus skull highlighting features of a carnivore. Original music, songs, show & tell with rare fossils, a touch of magic, a puppet, and The Dinosaur Game Show will round out the program. Registration begins on June 1st.



This year's Summer Reading programs are all about digging...for dinosaurs, in caves, into the past, and (always) into books.

WELL RED 2
Last year's party was such a success, we decided to do it again AND double the fun. In April, we tasted Italian wines and on Saturday, June 15th, we'll enjoy the wines of France.

TEST PREP HELP

HKF has a growing collection of test prep guides. They're yours to borrow for as long as you need them. Find them upstairs in non-fiction, near the elevator. Donations of prep materials are always welcome, too.
