Butterfly Conservation Program
What does it take for a caterpillar to become a beautiful butterfly? Find out at 10:30 a.m., Friday, June 28 as Lynn Sprague, from Winterberry Homestead, will present an engaging educational program to answer this very question. We are excited to have a solarium at the library for 6 weeks to show the amazing progression from chrysalis, then caterpillar to butterfly.
