- About My Library
Public library books are for use while in the nature center and are not checked out. There is a substantial children's selection as well as games and puzzles for their use in the library, in the lobby seating area by the fireplace and on the landing in the wildlife viewing area. The library also has a number of wildlife mounts and is home to our bull snake and Quachita map turtle. A separate library is maintained for staff and research use.
The first tag on each book identifies its collection; the second tag is its shelf location.
