The Kasson Public Libray will host its free large program to children who have signed up for the summer reading program Catch the Reading Bug this Thursday, June 26th at 1 PM at the KM Elementary Gym.

Jamie and Melissa Pastika of the Minnesota RadZoo (Reptile & Amphibian Discovery) will present the Wonderful World of Reptiles & Amphibians this presentations will be informative, engaging, and interactive. The program provides an enjoyable experience forthe audience, while instilling a greater understanding of these unique animals and the incredible lives they live. The presenters have a background with a combined experience of more than twenty years as professional animal keepers. They both have Bachelor of Science degrees, Jamie in zoo-science and Melissa in biology.




The program will include between ten and fifteen of our fascinating reptiles and amphibians, including frogs, a salamander, turtles, lizards, snakes, and a small crocodilian.








At the conclusion of our presentation the audience is provided an opportunity for the students to come up and take a closer look at our animals, including a chance to touch one or two of our animals in a controlled setting, after which we provide hand sanitizer to the students.
