The community is invited to view Arkansas reptiles and modern day dinosaurs at the Donald W. Reynolds Library Serving Baxter County Saturday morning from 10:00 until noon.
Ken Foreman with Fred Berry Conservation Education Center will be bringing five live reptiles native to Arkansas and sharing information about each. Foreman also has a virtual reality exhibit that answers the question, What happened to dinosaurs in Arkansas?
Everyone attending Saturday’s program will receive a pocket guide on snakes native to Arkansas.
The Reptile Round Up is part of a program series designed to correlate with the Dinosaurs: Fossils Exposed exhibit on display at the library. Exhibit visitors can view and even touch five full dinosaur skeletal molds including a Triceratops and Velociraptor. There are additional molds of skulls, arms, legs, eggs, footprints and a 6-foot-1 Apatosaurus femur. Visitors can also enjoy a dig box using paleontology tools to unearth dinosaur bones.
Other programs in the series include Dinosaur Train Geocache Adventure. While at the exhibit, visitors may go on a geocache adventure on the library grounds.
Dinosaurs: Fossils Exposed is sponsored by the Baxter County Library Foundation and Friends of the Library. For information on all library programs, visit the librarys website at www.baxlib.orgBaxter County Library.
