Submitted Photo After Audubon Community Nature Center’s First Sunday Story Time on May 7, children and adults who participate can take part in indoor opportunities or go outside to play on Tank the Turtle. Both Sunday building admission and the story time are free.

The Audubon Community Nature Center presents First Sunday Story Time from 12:30 to 1 p.m. each month.

Sunday, May 7, is the next opportunity for adults and their children between the ages of 2 and 8 to go on literary adventures with animals, through habitats and seasons, and discover new things with every page.

Storyteller Claire Certo leads the trek. Doors open at 12:20 p.m. for the free, nature-based story time.

The building fully opens at 1:00 p.m. Participants are welcome to stay afterward and explore the Nature Center building.

Both the program and Sunday admission are free. Come for story time and stay to explore the indoor Nature Play Area, live animals, and exhibits. Then go outside to enjoy the outdoor Nature Play Area and visit Soren the Red-tailed Hawk.

Participation is limited to 15.
