Join us as we kick off Salina Reads with an evening of music, creativity, and animal-themed fun! The community is invited to celebrate with live music from Treehouse, tasty appetizers, and a hands-on animal craft for all ages.
The evening will also feature exciting visits from special animal friends from the Lakewood Discovery Center, Rolling Hills Zoo, and Salina Animal Services.
This year’s Salina Reads title is "Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law" by Mary Roach. Hailed as “America’s funniest science writer,” Roach explores the unpredictable world where humans and wildlife collide. From jaywalking moose to break-in-prone bears, she investigates curious real-life cases and reveals how science — rather than law — often offers the most insightful solutions to human-wildlife conflict.
Free copies of this year’s title will be available while supplies last.
No registration is required. All ages welcome!
