Join Barnstable Land Trust at the Osterville Village Library as author Gilbert Newton will present a children’s storytime reading from his book ‘A Young Person’s Guide to the Beach.’ This handy field guide will open a world of wonders to be discovered by young naturalists as they explore the dynamic shoreline of Cape Cod. There is great fun, joy, and pleasure in discovering life on the beach. The book will help these young explorers to familiarize themselves with the common plants and animals along the ocean’s edge. From shells to horseshoe crabs and starfish to seaweed, the photos and descriptions will help identify the many interesting living things at the shore.

This program is supported in part by Cape Cod Healthcare and the Mid-Cape Cultural Council, a local agency which is support by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
