Outdoor Visiting Animal Program:
It’s Great to Communicate
|
|
|
|
FRIDAY, July 21 at 11:30 AM
|
Join us at Winthrop Square Park as Matt and some special animal visitors from Animal World Experience teach us the many unique ways that animals communicate with each other, as well as people. You may come to realize that animals really do talk, just a little differently than us. This program will be outdoors at Winthrop Square Park, at St. Paul Street and Freeman Street. We recommend bringing sunscreen, water bottles, and a blanket or something to sit on.
|
If the weather is not suitable for an outdoor program, it will be moved inside to the Coolidge Corner Library program room. Any location change will be announced on Library social media and this event listing will be updated. In the event that this program is moved inside, space will be limited, so free tickets will be required.
