The Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuges present “Critters Come and Go” at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, September 11, 2010 at Albany Public Library, 2450 14th Avenue SE.

Critters come and go at Albany Public Library

Thousands of migrating birds come to the Willamette Valley this month to stay the winter Katie Folts from the Refuges will lead activities to explore how animals move and survive in the fall and winter. Kids will have a chance to make their own nature journals, in which they can record their sightings of animals and changes in the seasons.

The program is open to the public, free of charge.


The Albany Public Library has two book discussion groups… one was not enough.  Both groups have read Dave Metz’s Crossing the Gates of Alaska.  Dave Metz has been invited back to discuss his adventures with a well informed audience!  If you missed his first visit, this will surely be an energetic program of questions and answers.  Take a trip on the wild side from the comfort of your Library.
