A recent Storytime at the library was all about turtles. The books, “Where’s My Turtle” by Barbara Bottner; “I Am Stuck,” by Julia Mills and “Turtle and Tortoise Are NOT Friends,” by Mike Reiss were read by Children’s Librarian Sam Edmundson and enjoyed by the young attendees.
Facts about turtles were shared by Jessica Hines and Norma Bozenmayer, followed by making a turtle bank using a recycled fruit cup as a shell.
The program was completed with the children planting tulips and crocus bulbs in the Books, Blooms and Bugs Children’s Garden. Did you know that turtles can live 200 years and the oldest known living turtle in the world is Jonathan, a Seychelles giant tortoise who is estimated to be 191 years old. He was born in 1832.
