This summer, the Wildlife Center of Virginia's outreach team may be visiting a library near you! Throughout June and July, the Center's animal ambassadors will be featured during fun and educational wildlife-themed programs at 22 libraries around the state, including Northern Virginia, the Eastern Shore, and Central Virginia. These programs are FREE, open to the public, and a great opportunity to learn about Virginia's wildlife. These family-friendly programs are geared toward children ages 5 and older, but all ages are welcome. Join us to meet the ambassadors up close, hear their stories, and learn how you can help protect wildlife!
