This event is part of the library's Small Wonders exhibit, an exhibition of breathtaking beauty that allows viewers to see the hidden world of insects like they’ve never seen it before. Small Wonders aims to inspire, in an artistic way, our natural curiosity to understand the form, function, and diversity of nature.
