Join us tonight, Monday, August 3, at 7:30 p.m. at East Bank Regional Library for a very special wildlife visit and talk! Sally Farrell, a local raptor rescue and rehabilitation specialist, will give an educational presentation and introduce some of the live birds of prey she has rehabilitated but that cannot be released to the wild. This event is free and open to ages five and up.

Please be aware that live animals will be in the library and loud noises can bother the birds, so we ask audience members to be considerate and quiet for the health and well-being of the living creatures! If you can't make it tonight, mark your calendars-- this event repeats at River Ridge Library on Tuesday, August 11 at 7 p.m.!
