Dinosaurs
Check out this selection of juvenile literature all about our prehistoric pals, the dinosaurs!
For the next three months, the Library will host Dinosaur Discovery, an exhibit on loan from Dr. John “Jack” Hankla. The exhibit features over 120 fossils and castings from his curated collection, including a megalodon! The exhibit is located in the Children’s Are and Lobby on the ground floor and accessible to visit anytime the Library is open. The collection’s pieces come from around the world during years of discovery. Dr. Hankla’s collection has traveled to museums, schools, and libraries across the country. Recently, some of the pieces in the exhibit were featured in the Jurassic World movies!
