Weren't able to make it? Kate will be back on Wednesday, August 5 at 10 AM to talk about nighttime pollinators!

Beverly Reads The Bear is all wrapped up, but we've accomplished a lot in April and May, making art, developing new skills, and learning more about the natural world that surrounds us everyday.

Our closing keynote with The Bear's author, Andrew Krivak was incredible with so many coming out to enjoy a special after hours talk and reception. We just want to give a huge thanks to the Friends of the Beverly Public Library that made the programs possible and everyone who participated: whether by reading or attending a program, or even just snapping a picture with our bear cutout!
