This crew is kindergarten ready, just in time for school to start next week! πŸ‘‘πŸ“šπŸŽ
They're little pros in listening to teachers, asking for help, walking in line, carrying their very own lunch trays, and using scissors!

Teachers, students, and admin, we hope this is the best school year yet! Your library is here to support you every step of the way. 🀩

It's always an adventure when we get to partner with our friends at Catawba County Parks but this was one for the books! 😎

Did you know: Southern Appalachia is the Salamander Capital of the world, and that includes Catawba County! πŸ¦ŽπŸ’š

Even though they’re slimy and move fast enough to make even the bravest adult squeal, salamanders are a really vital part of the ecosystem. They control pests by eating insects like mosquitoes, and sometimes become food themselves. They are exceptional indicators of ecosystem health and serve as an early warning system to scientists studying environmental impacts. Some have gills, some absorb oxygen through their skin, and others breathe through lungs. They burrow under rocks and in the soil of streams and rivers which helps plants grow (so leave rocks where you found them while visiting streams and rivers, it might be a salamander home).

🦎 Calling all curious kids:
Creek exploration, salamanders, and plenty of discoveries await! πŸ”

Grab your sense of adventure and join a park ranger this Wednesday at Bakers Mountain Park! We'll head into the creek to discover what lives beneath the surface of our local streams.

It's a great way to spend a summer afternoon exploring nature!
