In winter when snow and ice cover so much, it can seem like the animals have disappeared. But, although we can’t always see it, life continues above and below the white surface! Join Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) Education & Outreach Manager Mirka Zapletal at the Minot-Sleeper Library as we explore what animals are doing while the world around them is in a deep freeze! Learn about the different ways that local animals respond to winter and how we can investigate their lives without even seeing them. On Wednesday, January 25th storytime starts with “Over and Under the Snow” at 10:30 am followed by a winter-themed craft to take home.

NLRA works to protect the high-quality waters of Newfound Lake and its watershed, maintaining a healthy and diverse ecosystem.  Along with educational programming like guided activities and public events, NLRA monitors water quality, conserves land, manages stormwater pollution, and monitors for invasive species.  Learn more about their programs and events and ways you can be involved at: NewfoundLake.org.
