Libraries host Animal Tales Zoofari Earth Friday
The Franklin County Public Library’s Summer Reading Program continues its series of fun events with the highly anticipated Animal Tales Zoofari Earth on Friday, June 28.
The program features animal ambassadors from around the globe with six different exotic animals from six different continents.
Children and adults alike have the opportunity to get up close and personal and even get “hands-on” with these animals as part of a safe, educational, and entertaining experience.
Friday’s program is at 11 a.m. ET at the Eastpoint Branch Library at 160 Hickory Dip Road, and at 2 p.m. at the Carrabelle Branch Library at 311 St. James Avenue, which is U.S. 98.
Library programs are free and open to the public and participants do not need a library card to participate.
During the Summer Reading Program, both library branches have fun activities for both kids and adults. The theme is “Adventure Begins At Your Library”; and will feature the outdoors. There are reading logs, prizes and incentives for all ages (including adults).
The Summer Reading Program is sponsored by the Friends of the Franklin County Public Libraries, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports the libraries in Eastpoint and Carrabelle. For more information, contact the Eastpoint branch at (850) 670-8151 or the Carrabelle branch at (850) 697-2366. Or go to friendsfcpl.com
