The Shaw Institute, Blue Hill Heritage Trust, and the library will cosponsor a special Ocean Storytime on Tuesday, August 12 at 10:30 a.m.  Kids ages 5+ and their families are invited to join Charlie the Shark from the Shaw Institute for an ocean themed story, a scavenger hunt and an engaging art project all on the beach! Charlie the Shark loves to read books to kids about the ocean and teach them why caring about our oceans is important. This program will take place at Peters Cove in Blue Hill, a Blue Hill Heritage Trust property, on the beach.  For a map of the trail, visit https://bluehillheritagetrust.org/peters-brook-trail-and-peters-cove/.  We will meet at the beach by the parking area.

Participants are encouraged to wear suitable footwear to walk on the beach, a sun hat and sunscreen, and bring a water bottle.

The Shaw Institute’s mission is to discover and expose environmental threats to people and wildlife through innovative science and to engage in global partnerships to improve human and ecological health.  For more information, visit https://www.shawinstitute.org/.
