Dig deep and discover new worlds whether in the pages of a book or lying in the ground!

This summer we are looking into the far past to examine all the different ways we find information.

Be it through dirt and rocks, family ties, archeology, history, paleontology, or through our imagination, information can be found everywhere!

Registration now open!

Register online here or by using the paper forms at the library!
