David Sparks, an expert on rescuing animals, will be bringing some critters to the Scarborough Library on Wednesday, Oct. 25, (a school early release day) at 3:30 p.m.

After years of dealing with animals, formerly as the animal control officer in Westbrook, Sparks now operates a unique animal emergency services business called “Sparks Ark.” He has been featured in newspapers and has appeared on local television stations, becoming a local celebrity.

Sparks conducts educational programs, bringing some of the animals he rescues to show to children and adults alike and to explain the basics of Maine wildlife habitat.
