Bats frighten a lot of people. They fly around at night when we can’t really see them, and sometimes startle us by showing up in unexpected places. They hang around in a lot of horror movies, and their spooky faces—fangs and all—are everywhere come Halloween.
Whether they scare you or not, bats are important to you—yes, YOU! Some of the plants you eat, such as figs, dates, agave and wild bananas, depend on bats to grow. Insect pests like mosquitoes, moths and crop pests are eaten by bats in great numbers.
CCEEC’s bat program talks about how myth can be very different from reality, touches on the great diversity of bats worldwide (there are over 1,100 species!) then focuses on the nine species found right here in Pennsylvania. Thank you to the Friends of the Scranton Public Library for sponsoring this wonderful program from the Carbon County Environmental Education Center.

For the second year the Lackawanna County Children’s Library is pleased to be a Scranton Fringe Festival venue. The Children’s Library will host four performances FREE to the public.
Friday September 30th @ 6PM C’era Una Volta: Folktales From Italy Saturday October 1st 1PM
520 Vine Street Scranton PA
570-348-3000 ext 3015
“C’era una volta” is a selection from a collection of folktales that were archived by folklorists at the Centro di Documentazione della Tradizione Orale in Turin Italy. These folktales were gathered by interviewing the “anziani”, elderly citizens who were known as the keepers and guardians of the towns history. Also folktales from Scranton’s sister city, Giuardia dei Lombardi have been translated and never been publicly told in the United States. Join us at the library for a visit to the old country. Registration is not needed. For further information call the library at 570348-3000 ext. 3015 or go to http://Scranton Fringe Festival.
