Zoo to show off animals ‘Under Foot’ in library program

Staff members from the NC Zoo will present “Under Foot: An Exploration of the World of Animals Under Our Feet” at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 9, and again at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, at the Asheboro Public Library.

The free event will include fascinating facts and finds about animals that live underground, and feature some of the animals themselves. Children and their families/caregivers are invited.

During the program, participants will uncover interesting information about underground animals, the advantages of living there, and how fossil evidence helps us understand more about dinosaurs.  There will be many biofacts for participants to touch and experience, and a live animal or two will help tell the story of what is happening under foot.

It’s part of Dig into Reading, the library’s Summer Reading Program for children. For more information and a complete schedule of all the activities, visit www.randolphlibrary.org/summer, or call 318-6804.

The library is located at 201 Worth Street in Asheboro.
