Main Library

Children's Program Room

Sometimes it helps to blend in! Come to the library to learn how some animals can hide in plain sight.

Many animals use camouflage to survive--either to hide from predators or to launch a surprise attack on unsuspecting prey. In Amazing Animal Camouflage, we will explore types of animal camouflage with hands-on activities and design our own camouflaged animals. This program is designed for children in kindergarten through third grade.

Space is limited; register in advance to reserve your spot and receive reminders. Registration will guarantee your seat until the event begins. Accessibility needs? Please contact ask@acpl.info as soon as possible - we’d love to help.
