“Up All Night in New Hampshire” August 3 at Dover Library


To take a look at nocturnal animals found in New Hampshire, you could stay up all night, or come to the Dover Public Library for the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire’s presentation, “Up All Night in New Hampshire”, on Friday, August 3 at 10:30am.   A museum educator will discuss nocturnal animals, their homes, and the behaviors that make them well-suited to nighttime living. Children study specimens such as owl talons, examine animal tracks, experiment with night vision, explore animal hearing and listen to night sounds, smell scents from nature, dissect owl pellets, and create an “Artsy Owl”.
This event is part of the Dover Public Library’s Summer Reading program, “Dream Big, Read!”  Registration is required.  Please drop by or call the Children’s Room at 516-6052 to register.

Also, be sure to come to the library for the last movie of the summer program, “Hoot”, on Monday, August 6 at 2pm in the Lecture Hall.

Then, on August 7 from 10:30am–12 Noon, a celebration party will be held on the library’s front lawn for all summer readers and their families.  After refreshments, Steve Blunt, part-time music teacher, part-time singer/story-teller, will entertain us with his interactive musical show which critics have called “funny”, “heartfelt”, and “engaging”.
