SPRING BREAK STEM: DISSECT AN OWL PELLET!

Learn About Owls this April Break at the Library! 🦉

On Thursday, April 24^th at 12pm the Lewiston Public Library Children’s Department will be offering the program Spring Break STEM: Dissect an Owl Pellet.

Owl’s swallow their food whole but cannot digest bones and fur so these are separated by the owl’s gizzard. After several hours, the owl regurgitates a pellet of the undigested material. The pellets have been professionally sanitized and arrive ready for dissection, offering participants the chance to identify the bones of the owl’s previous meals.

Gloves and dissection materials will be provided, as well as one owl pellet per participant.

This activity is recommended for kids ages 8 and older.

This program will take place in Callahan Hall on the 3^rd floor of the library.

The activity is free and there is no registration required.

The Lewiston Public Library is located downtown at 200 Lisbon Street at the corner of Pine Street.
