Join us at the Barbara Bush Branch Library for a wild encounter!

World Croc Day celebrates the wild nature of crocodiles. So the library invited a bunch of them to visit us for the Summer! Crocodile Encounter is here to teach you all about these modern relatives to the dinosaurs up close and personal.

This event will be hosted by our generous neighbors at the The George H. W. Bush Community Center, Room 226. There is no age restriction, so bring the whole family. This event is free with no ticket required.
