STREAM into Summer! Kick-Off Event featuring Chris Koch, Jurassic Parts  

Saturday, June 6 @10-1:30PM ALL AGES  

Chris Koch, educator and founder of Jurassic Parts, takes you on an unforgettable journey back to Ice Age Florida, where you’ll see and touch real and replica fossils from incredible animals like saber-toothed cats, mastodons, mammoths, and giant ground sloths. Through engaging, hands-on learning, you’ll discover fascinating facts about these extinct creatures, why they disappeared, where fossils come from, and why dinosaur fossils aren’t found in Florida. Become young archaeologists/paleontologists as we uncover the mysteries of Florida’s past. Grab free books, enter exciting raffles, and, most importantly, sign up for a summer of reading adventures. Don’t miss the opportunity to make a splash into marine biology, books and fun!
