The Owls are Coming to Gibbs! On Saturday, March 14th, from 10-11am, Gibbs hosts the Chewonki Traveling Natural History Program, Owls of Maine. Real owls at the library! Learn more about these magnificent creatures. Talons, wings, and skulls, oh my! “Hoo” knows what learning, intrigue, and adventure awaits!
A live owl is the highlight of this program, which introduces participants to the owls native to Maine and New England. Using pictures and sounds, participants will learn the identifying characteristics and calls of each owl. Then, using talons, wings, and skulls, we explore the adaptations of these silent nocturnal hunters. This program ends with an intimate and detailed look at live owls, bringing these creatures of the night into the light!
Gibbs Reading Series is back! And March 15th, we welcome some of our own local writers! Jean & Jean! Jean Feldeisen will read from her debut full-length poetry collection, South Jersey Shore, and Jean Slobodzian will read from novel (co-written with Susan Marino), Journals from the Heart. Come celebrate local writers and new books Sunday, March 15th, at 2pm in the Bryant Room!
