CSTL is offering a limited amount of free science programs for libraries.  We come to you! Libraries can call to inquire about the following free workshops:

Live Animal Demonstration - See and touch reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. Students explore different animals groups and learn about the diversity of living things and learn about what adaptations animals have to survive.

Endangered Species - Learn about extinct, endangered and protected wildlife. Rare and unique confiscated pelts, teeth, and dozens of other specimens are the centerpiece of this eye opening workshop.
