Zoo educator to debut polar bear book with library reading, storytime


Discover the real life of Willie, one of the NC Zoo’s polar bears, when author and zoo Visitor Educator Tonya Weeks visits the Asheboro library for a reading and storytime at 11 a.m. Saturday, December 8.

Weeks is author of I Am Polar Bear, a children's book in which readers can learn about Willie’s daily life, polar bear anatomy and ways to protect this endangered species. “I have always been an animal lover and the big guy just spoke to my heart. I had no choice but to tell his story,” Weeks says.

The reading/storytime is free and the public is invited. The library is located at 201 Worth Street in Asheboro.
