About the Event
This week there are 2 program options! We have activites at library AND an excursion to Round Spring Cave north of Eminence, MO.
AT THE LIBRARY:
Elementary students will be making their own cave paintings and petrified "trees" and
we'll enjoy a fitting "underground" treat - Dirt Cups (with gummy worms of course!).
For more cave-related fun we'll have self-dircted activities at the library all week.
All ages are welcome to check out our mineral sample collection under the microscope and
we'll have a free instructions for a science project of how to grow your own cave crystals at home!
