The Gilbert Library

Upcoming Events

Visit from White Memorial
What feature does an opossum possess, unlike other North American mammal? What does a box turtle have in common with a door? Why do owls have asymmetrical ears? Strange questions, indeed, but all of their answers come down to some amazing animal adaptations! Join White Memorial’s Education Director, Carrie Szwed, as she uses natural props, animal mounts, and even a couple of live animals to illustrate structural and behavioral adaptations of native CT animals. Learn how these adaptations help animals survive in different environments. This program engages kids and adults alike! Wednesday, Nov 20th at 4 pm.
