The Ossipee Public Library will kick-off this year’s summer reading program, A Universe of Stories, with a Squam Lakes Natural Science Center program called “Creatures of the Night.” The Collaborative Summer Library Program reading theme will focus on stories of the universe, space, and science. What better way than to start off with a Nature program that focuses on the creatures of the night.
Come find out how wild animals find food in the dark or escape predators. You don’t have to stay up late to get a close look at elusive nocturnal creatures. Meet three live creatures of the night with a Squam Lakes Natural Science Center naturalist to learn surprising details of their adaptations, which make them well-suited for night life.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center was founded in 1966. The mission of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world.
This event is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the Friends of the Ossipee Public Library and a Grant from the Governor Wentworth Arts Council.
