The Library is bringing the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to you!  Join in as we learn about the story of Balto and the heroic dogs and mushers of the 1925 Alaskan Serum Run, and compare their experience to the Iditarod of today through video conferencing with the museum.  We will have a kit of equipment used to enable humans and huskies to survive in harsh Arctic conditions to examine during the show.  Space is limited.  Call the library at 330-744-8636 to reserve your seat or sign up via the online calendar.  For children in grades K-12.
