Bats!  You've probably seen these flying fur balls in the air (or possibly in your attic), but have you noticed that there aren't quite as many around as there used to be?  Bats are a very important, somewhat adorable, and often misunderstood part of our ecosystem... and they are in BIG trouble.

This presentation will focus on our local bat populations, the factors which imperil them, and what we can do to safeguard them.  Formerly a bat biologist, Chelsea Rider is currently an ambassador and trainer for Bat Conservation International (and part-time librarian).  This program will be held in the meeting room.  While it is geared toward adults, all ages are welcome!
