The Crookston Public Library will offer three more weekly Summer Reading Program events, all on this year’s theme of “Go Wild About Reading.”

On Wednesday, July 23 at 2:00 p.m., Matt Morin of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will give youth an overview of Minnesota wildlife, including wolves, coyotes, beavers and more, with “Explore Minnesota Wildlife.”

Finally, on July 30 at 2:00 p.m., they will have the Oceanarium program. Youth will go under the sea with staff from the Minnesota State University Moorhead Oceanarium, learning all about fiddler crabs, including how they interact, compare the size of their claws, race and even arm wrestle.
