🐍 What an incredible time with Larsen's Lizards!

Families packed our libraries for this popular Summer Reading Challenge event, where kids got up close with amazing reptiles, learned fascinating facts, and even had the chance to meet and interact with chameleons, bearded dragons, a giant tortoise, and even a boa constrictor! It was a fun, hands-on experience that inspired curiosity and a love of learning.

A big thank you to Scott and Kim Larsen for bringing the world of reptiles to Botetourt County Libraries. 💚
