SUMMARY:Animal Tales: Opossum at Sycamore Road
DESCRIPTION:Our Park Naturalists and volunteers come to your local library each month to share a story about a native animal and lead a craft or activity. These programs are FREE to attend and are most appropriate for preschool to upper elementary age children. Advance registration is required by contacting your library.  \nMay – A Turtle’s Dangerous Journey \nA turtle is making her way across a highway to find a nesting spot. She avoids being run over\, only to find trash in the nesting grounds\, which attracts predators to her eggs. Will the turtle survive this dangerous journey? \nJune – Opossum at Sycamore Road \nIt’s nighttime. Opossum and her four babies waddle across a backyard\, rummaging through trash cans for food. Suddenly a dog pops out of nowhere! Will Opossum be able to protect her young? Opossum at Sycamore Road is a fun and informative story with beautifully detailed illustrations.  \nJuly – The Very Quiet Cricket \nA tiny cricket makes his way into the world\, meeting one insect after another\, each of whom greets the little cricket with a cheery hello. The cricket rubs his wings together each time\, but nothing happens\, not a sound. Until the day he meets another cricket – a female – and something different happens. \nAugust – It’s a Hummingbird’s Life \nZooming in on a year in the life of a hummingbird\, this story gives young bird lovers a close look into this tiny bird’s busy days\, season by season. The text undulates across the pages like the bird in flight\, offering details about hummingbirds that children can digest easily. \nClayton – Liberty Township  \n\nCall library at (317) 539-2991 to register in advance\nTuesdays at 10:30 a.m. \nMay 3\, June 7\, July 5\, Aug. 2\n\nMonrovia  \n\nCall library at (317) 996-4307 to register in advance\nTuesdays at 1 p.m. \nMay 3\, June 7\, July 5\, Aug. 2\n\nPlainfield – Guilford Township  \n\nCall library at (317) 839-6602 to register in advance\nWednesdays at 10 a.m. \nMay 4\, June 8\, July 6\, Aug. 3\n\nBrownsburg  \n\nCall library at (317) 852-3167 to register in advance\nWednesdays at 4 p.m. \nMay 4\, June 8\, July 6\, Aug. 3\n\nJamestown \n\nCall library at (765) 676-6190 to register in advance\nThursdays at 3 p.m.\nMay 5\, June 9\, July 7\, Aug. 4\n\nRoachdale \n\nCall library at (765) 522-1491 to register in advance\nThursdays at 4:30 p.m.\nMay 5\, June 9\, July 7\, Aug. 4\n\nAvon \n\nCall library at (317) 272-4818 to register in advance\nFridays at 2 p.m.\nMay 6\, June 10\, July 8\, Aug. 5\n\nDanville \n\nCall library at (317) 745-2604 to register in advance\nFridays at 4 p.m.\nMay 6\, June 10\, July 8\, Aug. 5
