Program Description

Event Description

Have you ever wondered what owls eat? Do you like bones? Do you like digging for treasure? Give mom a break this year and join us as we dissect owl pellets! By looking through this record of their meals, we can see exactly what they've eaten. Every participant will get their own pellet to excavate the hidden treasures within, thanks to our friends at the Museum of Osteology!

Discover the fascinating world of bones at Nature’s Open Book: a special exhibit from SKELETONS: Museum of Osteology! Visit the Downtown Library in April and May to explore a selection of incredible skeletal and taxidermy specimens, with additional displays at various other Metro libraries. Visit metrolibrary.org/skeletons for additional location details and to discover related events.
