Blue Hill, Maine - Kids ages 7 to 13 are invited to a butterfly and t-shirt decorating program at the Blue Hill Public Library on Thursday June 27th at 4:00 PM. Jerry Schneider the Butterfly Guy will lead this interactive program about Eastern butterflies, their habits and habitats, and life cycle. He will also talk about good places to look for butterflies and all about the amazing migration of the Monarch. Participants are invited to bring a plain t-shirt to decorate with a butterfly or purchase a new one at the library for $4.Schneider is a former teacher and children's librarian. In 2001 he invented The Butterfly Game, which has received a Parents Publication Honors Award. He has offered nature programs to schools and libraries for the past nine years.
This event is part of the Library’s Summer Reading Program, and this year’s theme is “Dig into Reading!” However kids do not have to be signed up for the reading program in order to participate in the event. Thanks to the Friends of the Library this workshop is free but space is limited so registration is required. To register, go to the Library’s web calendar at www.bhpl.net or call Pat at 374-5515.
