We borrowed a kit from the IL Department of Natural Resources full of pelts, skulls, replica tracks and replica scat. Young patrons, ages 5-9, and their grown-ups, went from station to station with a passport, where they could record information and draw pictures. Mid-way through we read a book, and to finish we played a True/False game with facts about mammals.

The key to putting something big together so quickly? Use ideas and supplies from past programs, work together and have everyone contribute something, and it is really, really awesome if your community has a local Batman!<br /><br />http://www.greenbeanteenqueen.com/2014/07/batman-day-at-library-or-how-to-plan.htmlGreenBeanTeenQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708155058381407531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-51619662056667372762014-07-28T14:39:08.030-05:002014-07-28T14:39:08.030-05:00I wrote a Book Character Parties Round Up post on ...I wrote a Book Character Parties Round Up post on Jbrary.
