Calling all paleontologists! Dig into a good book, uncover hidden stories, or explore the past and go on a great adventure. Unearth a Story is a fun, hands-on summer theme that invites kids to dig into the wonders beneath their feet. From towering dinosaurs to tiny worms, children explore the hidden world underground through stories, games, and creative activities. Whether they’re pretending to be paleontologists on a fossil hunt, planting a garden, or discovering how animals live below the surface, kids will uncover exciting tales and learn how life thrives beneath the soil. Children through adults can sign up to participate in the program at all 8 libraries any time throughout the summer.
