Children learn through play. In fact, play helps them develop early literacy and school-readiness skills, and it can be a load of fun. Open-ended activities engage a variety of age groups and encourage adult-child interaction. Our library may not be an actual playground, but there is a place for play here.
Please join us and watch the learning happen! Sponsored by First 5 of El Dorado County.
Come read, play, and level up with us this summer!

Conservation Ambassadors provide a worldwide voice to wildlife by providing a permanent, loving home for displaced, abused, abandoned or permanently injured wild and exotic animals. Sharing these animals through the Wild Things outreach program with school children and learners of all ages is meant to educate them about conservation, connect them to the wild world, and inspire them to protect the planet. This show is roughly 50 minutes long.
Open to all ages with no tickets required! This event will be taking place outside the library on the lawn by the pond. Patrons are encouraged to bring folding chairs and/or blankets.
Please note that in order to ensure the happiness and wellbeing of the animals, Conservation Ambassadors do not guarantee the presence of any specific animal at the show.
