The One-of-a-Kind Petting Zoo returned to the Surprise Regional Library over the weekend. Kids and adults loved getting up close with goats, pigs, bunnies, and chickens — including two chickens that came from the eggs we hatched last spring. It was a day full of happy faces. 🐐🐇

This week in Little Innovators, more than 60 children explored and learned together.
We studied owl pellets, talked about how owls eat, and explained what a pellet is in simple, kid‑friendly terms. 🦉

The children used our new dissection tools to gently take the pellets apart. They found bones, skulls, feathers, and fur from animals owls commonly eat, such as mice and voles.

We also used our new microscopes and magnifying glasses so everyone could get a closer look at the bones and other discoveries.
The activity was hands‑on, accessible, and full of curiosity. Our young scientists did an amazing job exploring at their own pace.
