Reading in Nature: Pepe Lepew

Reading in Nature: The CROW series
Welcome to the CROW series, Children Respecting Our Wildlife; the new program series in collaboration with the New Carlisle Library. Delve into the lives of the wildlife that live right in our own "backyard." Each month, hear a story, learn some cool facts and do a craft or other interactive activity. This program will sometimes involve going outside. The June and July programs will be held at Smith Park; the August program will be held at the New Carlisle Public Library.
