Downtown Branch

Tinker Lab

Drop in & Discover the diversity of life found in local streams, ponds, and the lake.

Samples of these amazing creatures will be placed in observation buckets for viewing, interacting with and identifying. A discussion of animal characteristics, adaptations and life cycles will give a greater understanding of these fascinating critters as well as what they can tell us about the quality of the water as a habitat.
