We borrowed a portable interactive exhibit titled “Pollinators” from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Minnesota Department of Education, State Library Services. It is currently on display and located in our GLA Reading room on the main floor of the library. This exhibit explores the importance of insect pollinators for the production of many of the foods we eat. It also shows the challenges to survival these insects face and ideas as to how we can help these pollinators. Please come take a look at it soon because it will only be on display through November 24th.
