Sundays with Friends: All American Dinosaur Show

Paleontologists Mike and Roberta Straka will teach us about the fossils herbivores and Dinosaur Headcarnivores, and there will be an eight-foot triceratops skull. Don’t miss this “dino-mite” show! Also, the first fifty children to register will participate in their very own dig! Participants will go on a dig for real dinosaur fossils and construct or build a dinosaur with the findings! This “hands-on” program is special because everyone will handle real dinosaur fossil bones – not plastic—and construct a dinosaur dig site right in the library!   This program is sponsored through the generosity of the Friends of the Scranton Public Library.
