Secret Garden Birds and Bees

Whooo’s Whooo at the Library?

Join us to meet our four live Owl Ambassadors and learn about the owls living right in your own neighborhood, maybe even in your own backyard. (Ages 6–12)

You'll find out where they live, what they sound like, what they eat, and what we can all do to help them, because they really are very good neighbors.

This SummerQuest event may be moved indoors in the case of inclement weather. Changes to this event will be made by 6pm the day before and details will be posted on this page. Please check back or call the Burke Branch at 703.746.1704 for updates.

AGE GROUP: | Children | Ages 6-12 |
