About Owl Prowls
Owl Prowls are weekly free nature walks for children. Each month, they are hosted by a different Community Library, and they will take place at a public natural area within walking distance of the library. Over the course of four weeks, children will put together a small museum exhibit about nature near the library, and that exhibit will be installed in the children's section of the library.
Owl Prowls are part of our Bibliodiversity initiative, our effort to make public libraries a place for young people to engage with the natural world.
