The animal kingdom has more colors than you can even imagine...it's crazy!

Lots of colors you've never even heard of, and wait for it...some animals even CHANGE color.  That's right, just when you think you know what color an animal is...it might just change on you! YIKES!  And, there are some animals that are so camouflaged with color, they are near invisible!  Craziness!  In this very special library program, Eco Adventures' very own Colorologist will guide guests through the crazy world of animal pigmentation, and what better way to do that, than with LIVE animal color ambassadors! Lots of colorful animals and all the answers that go along with the questions of why, when, and how will be on site for this dynamic show. Sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, MD, Inc.

This is a family friendly event. Please know that seating is first come, first served.
