Something new at Oakton Library …

Friends of Oakton Library recently worked with the Oakton Branch and Fairfax County to fund and plant a new Blackgum Wildfire tree in the open grassy area just outside the Meeting Room space and near the outdoor seating area. We hope that the new tree will create a shady and more-comfortable seating area near the flagpole and the book sculpture.

Come visit the library this week to shop our large Fall Book Sale and meet the latest edition to the landscape.

Jenn’s Uncommon Critters visited Oakton Library on Wednesday afternoon, July 29 with a variety of unusual animals to introduce to a capacity audience at Oakton Library.

The animals included the more familiar Guinea pig and tortoise, a scorpion with a special nighttime defense that shows up under a black light, a few snakes, and Bud the Tegu lizard.
After a presentation introducing the animals, the kids were allowed to view them up close and touch most of them.

(This program was co-sponsored by Friends of George Mason Regional Library.)

Thursday's "Owl Pellets" program at Oakton Library.

Oakton's meeting room was filled with young biologists who had a very interesting afternoon learning about owls.
Owl pellets include bones, fur and other indigestible parts of small animals from the owl's diet. Participants were provided with a (cleaned, sanitized) owl pellet, plus supplies and utensils to dissect the pellet.

This program was created and presented by Assistant Youth Services Manager, Marcia Jackon, and was funded by the Friends of Oakton Library.
