Alachua Branch

Meeting Room

Spiders and snakes and lizards, oh my! Come learn about these and other cool creatures and get an up-close look at them.

A local expert will be visiting the library to teach kids about interesting creatures, including arachnids and reptiles. She will be bringing several of her own that will be on display during the presentation. She will also be taking out some of the creatures for a closer look, and there might even be a couple that the audience can touch.

Join us every Wednesday afternoon for fun activities for kids. We'll do something different each week: writing workshops, Animal presentations, Perler Beads, Fiber Arts, video games, and more!

AGE GROUP: | Elementary (6-11 years) |
