Wildlife Adventures - Summer Reading 2026

Meet live animals in Wildlife Detectives: Digging for Clues.

Grab your magnifying glass and get ready to dig up some wild secrets! We’ll follow the clues—tracks, feathers, bones, and more—to uncover animals that live nearby and our live animal ambassadors. Meet the live animal friends up close, then explore our table of furs, bones, and mystery artifacts to keep the investigation going! 

This program has been generously sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, Inc.

The Chevy Chase Library elevator is currently out of service and undergoing modernization replacement. This program will be held in the downstairs meeting room, and will only be accessible by the stairs
