Scales and Tails

The Raymond Village Library’s vacation science program this April is presented by Chewonki, an environmental education organization, based in Wiscasset. The program titled, “Scales and Tails,” using four live non-releasable reptiles, introduces four of the five major groups of reptiles and compares their adaptations for survival.

Many people think of slimy skin and bloodthirsty monsters when they hear the word “reptile.” This hands-on program works to dispel some of those fears by allowing students to examine snakeskins, turtle shells, skeletons and other unique reptilian artifacts.

It will be held on Monday, April 21, at 10:30 a.m. at the Raymond Public Safety Building on Route 302. It is free and appropriate for all ages. For more information, call the library at 655-4283.
