Animal Encounters coming to libraries
Learn about the sensory systems of marine mammals and how they are the same but also different than a human’s senses with a virtual visit from the Pacific Marine Mammal Center at the Main Library.
Live and virtual animal acts will inhabit the Tuscarawas County Public Library System this summer.
“These acts are a continuation of our popular Animal Encounter series,” Tuscarawas Branch Library Supervisor Tabitha Johnson said. “We will be bringing back some crowd favorites, as well as bringing in virtual shows to allow families to explore creatures from the sea.”
