Library Events

Backyard Wilderness will surprise and entertain viewers with the unexpected wonders of nature that are right under our noses - in our own backyards. Spanning a seasonal year around a suburban home, the film displays a stunning array of unique wildlife images and behavior - all captured by cameras mounted inside dens and nests, and moving along the forest floor and pond bottom, to reveal its inhabitants in rare and breathtaking intimacy. We follow Katie, a young girl, and her modern family living next to the woods who are blind to the real-life spectacle around them, absorbed by an array of electronic devices in their busy lives. Katie gradually discovers the intricate secrets that nature has hidden so close to her front door and we experience the joy she finds in her interactions with this new world. The film reminds us that Wi-Fi is not the only connection that matters and that sometimes in ordinary places, you can uncover extraordinary things that can transform you forever - you just need to step outside.

See the movie and then become a Citizen Scientist at our Backyard Wilderness BioBlitz on Saturday November 3!

Lots of great events to plan!

New members welcome!

RESCHEDULED: Backyard Wilderness Bioblitz is a short outdoor event in which people come together to explore nature and make and share observations of the plants and animals that are living in their communities. This will be a fun energetic gathering where we will all work together to find and identify as many different species as possible.

Join us at 10am at the War Memorial Park! Please add the Inaturalist app to your cell phone in order to participate. There will be a few hotspots at the park that will give us WI-Fi access. This will reduce the amount of personal data you use. A photographer may be at the park taking a few pictures. There will be a permission slip to sign if you are willing to participate.

Free & Open to All!
