Salamanders. Fireflies. Fish. And bears.

The Lil’ Buds Summer Learning Series invited youngsters ages 3 to 6 accompanied by an adult to Chapman State Park to learn about several different creatures.

The program was a collaboration of Chapman and Youngsville Public Library. Library Director Kristy Wallace and Chapman Environmental Education Specialist Jen Moore provided information and activities.

“Each day included Kristy reading a story or two,” Moore said. “I would lead an activity related to the day’s theme. Then we had crafts for the kids to do at the end.”

“Kristy also made up bags for the families to take home with more information and crafts,” Moore said.
