For the third year running we’ve taken our summer programming cue from the Library’s Summer Reading Program theme. 2017—Build a Better World.  AND…Since we’re excited about the butterfly enclosure coming to Clary Gardens June 28 – July 2 we’ve gotten specific.  BUILD A BETTER BUTTERFLY WORLD. And…we think we should build a better world for butterflies—
  1. They make us happy with their beautiful colors and their wandering, weightless flight.
  2. They are great pollinators and serve as natural pest control agents which makes them environmentally useful.
  3. When you see lots of butterflies, they signal a healthy ecosystem.

We’ll work with young artists to make super-sized flowers for the artPARK and butterfly costumes for themselves. We’ll sweeten the flowers with sugar water and good smells to attract wild butterflies and then join them in a live performance in the artPARK. Children will learn about construction, costuming, movement, and sound and increase their knowledge of butterflies and the plants they love.
