Franklin Memorial Library Summer Reading Program hosts Georgia Southern Wildlife

Posted

On June 22, the Georgia Southern Wildlife Program visited the Vann Community Center. They brought reptiles and birds to show off to a crowd of almost 100 people.
The screech owl is a little tiny bird that sounds like a 6-year-old screaming. The Eurasian owl is a very large bird not native to these parts. There were several snakes, a box turtle, and Madagascar cockroaches. The children were very brave to touch the animals under handler's supervision. Many families enjoyed their pictures with a boa.
