Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the virtual program that Sno-Isle Libraries offered with the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. My daughter and I participate in a variety of programming on a virtual basis--all of them helpful--but few have generated the additional conversation and enthusiasm that this has. She and I continued to talk about great-horned owls, muskoxen, porcupines, arctic foxes, wolves--and their respective adaptations--for a significant portion of the evening, comparing and contrasting the features with those of additional species and considering which characteristics we'd like to further read about together. I am grateful for what both library staff members and their associates at the conservation center have done to facilitate such experiences for the patrons the library serves and hope that what my daughter and I learned together will continue to nurture her sense of curiosity and facilitate family discussion about the wonders of the natural world.
It was a treat to get to know a little about this place and their mission given the fact that it is so far away. It feels like we were transported there.
