Unearth New Worlds - Summer Reading 2026

A Presentation on Caving

Join us in the first floor meeting room for a discussion of cave exploration, rescue and protection led by an expert from the Eastern Region National Cave Rescue Commission.

Have you ever wondered what mysteries lie underground?  Marveled at the hidden wonders of stalactites and stalagmites?  Join us in the first floor meeting room to hear stories of cave exploration, camaraderie and danger!  Expert caver and rescue operations specialist Earl Suitor will treat us to a voyage through the exciting, constantly changing world of speleology.  See incredible images of subterranean formations, underground waterways and unusual organisms living in the depths.  Hear harrowing stories of survival and rescue.  Experience caving with MCPL!
