ADAMS, Mass.  Families and children of all ages are invited to register and join a presentation by Dinoman! for the 2022 Reading Challenge hosted by the Adams Free Library followed by a party to celebrate summer. 

Join the Adams Free Library on Thursday, August 18, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. for Dinoman with Bob Lisaius. Bob leads children of all ages on a search through natural history, to examine fossils, and explain origins. His passion for paleontology is contagious. When Dinoman’s three life-sized, self-inflating dinosaurs appear, prepare to be amazed!

With magic, merry mayhem, and magnificent props, the audience is taken on a trip throughout the Mesozoic era. How do we know dinosaurs were here? What is a fossil? How are they made? This program is fun and informative for all ages. 

Immediately following Dinoman at 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. join a party celebrating the 2022 summer reading challenge. Raffle basket winners will be announced at party and will be available for winner to take home. Light refreshments will be available. Prizes provided by the Friends of the Adams Free Library.
