The library was full of young readers and future herpetologists at Storytime, with participants learning all about frogs’ life and their behavior. Librarian Emee Tilly read, “Leaps and Bounce,” by Susan Hood and “Fabulous Frogs,” by Martin Jenkins.
Southwest Piedmont Master Naturalist Norma Bozenmayer and Jess Hines led a program on frogs using a model to demonstrate a frog’s life, including metamorphosis (developing from an egg to a tadpole and finally getting legs and arms and becoming a frog).
Frogs can eat thousands of mosquitoes using their long sticky tongue. Frogs are a great indicator of a healthy environment and an important part of the food web. Program participants then painted frog rocks to decorate the Books, Blooms and Bugs Garden.
Take a look among the garden plants when visiting the library to see if you spot any frogs peeking out at you. Call or visit the library to learn more about frogs or other library programs.
