🌎🍫 Thank You for Joining Us for Edible Earth Layers! 🍫🌎

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Edible Earth Layers program! We had a great time learning about the different layers of soil while creating a delicious edible version of our own. 🪱🌱

It was so much fun exploring science in a hands-on (and tasty!) way. We loved seeing everyone's creations and learning together about the world beneath our feet.

Thank you for making this program such a success. We hope you had as much fun as we did!

🦖🔍 Lots of people found Dewey at the Eldon Aquatic Center last week! 🌊☀️

It looks like our favorite library dinosaur enjoyed some summer fun in the sun, but now he's packed up and moved on to a new location! 👀📚

The question is... where will Dewey be next? 🤔

Keep your eyes open as you're out and about in the community. You never know where Dewey might pop up next!

Happy hunting, and good luck finding him! 🦕✨
