Library EventTotally Tweens: Comics & Cookies: The American Bison

Thursday, January 23, 2025 - 4:00pm to 5:00pm

01/23/2025 4:00pm 01/23/2025 5:00pm Totally Tweens: Comics & Cookies: The American Bison Tweens are invited to a monthly book club to listen to a graphic novel read-aloud. We'll enjoy a 30-minute excerpt of a different book each month, and then do an activity based on the book. Plus, cookies will be served! For our January meeting, we'll listen to The American Bison: The Buffalo's Survival Tale, a volume in the nonfiction History Comics series. Against all odds! The prairie shakes under the hooves of nearly thirty million bison. As fast as a horse, as tall as a person, and heavier than both combined, they roam from coast to coast. A century later, people struggle to find a single one left alive. How did the great herds disappear, and what does it take to bring them back?
