Have you ever seen a huge tarantula or enormous scorpion in real life? Have you ever held a Giant African Millipede or Australian Spiny Stick Insect? Come to the Lane Road Library’s “Meet the Bugs” program to see and touch these and many other critters. Megan Meuti, a graduate student from Ohio State University’s Entomology Department, will show off insects and arthropods from around the world and from our own backyard. Children ages 3 and up and their caregivers will have the opportunity to look at, touch, and hold the critters during this informative and interactive presentation.

For children 0-24 months and their caregivers. Caregivers will learn songs, stories and rhymes to enhance personal reading time. These skills will help children build vocabulary, recognize objects, and build a foundation for reading and learning.

For children ages 2-3 and their caregivers. Songs, rhymes and stories teach children how sounds and letters relate to reading and will build a foundation for future learning. Interaction with instructors and other children encourages social development and allows caregivers to connect. No enrollment is necessary.

Children ages 3-6 are invited to join us at the Lane Road Library for Stories and Crafts. Each week participants will listen to books and then make a fun project. Children and caregivers will learn prereading skills through stories, songs, rhymes, and art activities. No enrollment is required.
