Go birding with CLAWS Animal Rescue at Asheboro library

ASHEBORO – Feathered friends will return to the Asheboro Public Library for “Birding with CLAWS Animal Rescue” at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, September 18.

CLAWS, which brought animal ambassadors to the library during Summer Reading, will present an educational and fun-filled program about bird watching for children of all ages and their families. Meet some of CLAWS’ birds and learn about their habitats and behaviors in our own backyards and around Randolph County.

CLAWS, located near Chapel Hill, educates the public about wild and exotic animals, and rescues and rehabilitates those in need.

During the event, Randolph Room librarian Joanna Roberts will reintroduce the Asheboro library’s collection of carved birds by Clarence Lewallen, which are being outfitted with QR codes that connect to “All About Birds” at Cornell University’s ornithology lab, and will enable viewers to learn about each bird and listen to its call. 

Discover what birds visit you at home, and impress your friends with your new birdwatching skills!

The library is located at 201 Worth Street. For more information, call 336-318-6804.
