Check out one of the amazing events Coats Public Library offered their community during this summer! 😎 The library hosted a North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores: Owl Pellets event, providing an exciting and educational experience for curious minds of all ages.

Families in Harnett County came to Coats Public Library to learn the secrets of owl pellets and meet (16-year-old, Eastern Screech Owl) Bolt! Check it out!

A big shout-out to Jessica (Library Program Specialist), North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, and all the support from the rest of the Coats Library Staff to help make this event happen!
