Much to do in March ❥ The Wonderful World of Reptiles March 23 11:00 am Anniston Museum of Natural History There are an estimated 10,000 species of reptiles throughout the world. Being limited to a warm climate, due to their cold-blooded nature, reptiles are surprisingly adapted to survive and find the safest nooks and crannies. Reptiles are found under rocks and high in the trees depending on their needs. Join us as we welcome Stephen Faughn, County Extension Agent for the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, to the Anniston Museum as he discusses the wonderful world of reptiles with live examples! This program is included with museum admission. Seating is limited. Auditorium doors open at 10:45 am. ❥ The Bottle Collector March 26 2:00 - 3:00 pm Public Library of Anniston-Calhoun County Jake Smith will share the stories behind his bottle collection. ❥ Kids Craft Day March 27 Public Library of Anniston-Calhoun County Eric Carle Caterpillar!
