New England Aquarium comes to the South Branch of the Peabody Library

The New England Aquarium is bringing tidepool habitats and live animals to the South Branch! Experienced Aquarium educators will bring three different New England tidepool habitats to our community room for kids to learn about and explore.

Attendees will be introduced to the concepts of tidepool habitats, learning about three different New England habitats and the animals that live within them. Next, they will be allowed to explore live animals in their specific tidepool trays. The program ends with observations made by participants on the animals that live in each habitat as well as a surprise guest animal! Tidepool Habitats involves live animals such as seastars, hermit crabs, snails, urchins, clams, mussels, spider crabs, moon snails and rock crabs.

This program is fun for elementary-aged children. Caregivers are welcome to attend, but should not register. Please only sign up the attending children.

This program is free and open to the public and will take place at the South Branch of the Peabody Institute Library located at 78 Lynn St. on Wednesday, July 27th at 11AM. Tidepool Habitats is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Peabody Institute Library. Registration is required as space is limited.
