Two workers from the Oklahoma City Zoo visited the Chandler Public Library on Monday, June 9, as part of their summer reading program. The workers taught the children about pollinators and how important they are to the environment around them.
They also brought two guests of the animal variety for the children to see. One was Scooter, a box turtle, and the other was anAfrican millipede. To the right, Dax Freeman stares up in awe as the OKC Zoo volunteer shows him the millipeded lounging in the tank.
Over 30 children filled the community room, a jump from last week’s session. At future meetings, the children will learn about ice cream and how to make, as well as listening to books.
