Only one week left until it is officially spring! Celebrate the beginning of the season with a special film screening at the Main Library 🎥🦋

"The Secret Pollinators" invites viewers on an awe-inspiring journey into the extraordinary world of butterflies. With breathtaking cinematography and expert guidance from Jaret C. Daniels, curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History’s McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, the film reveals the vital role these resilient and powerful pollinators play in maintaining our planet’s health.
