Bring Our Legendary Library Program to Your Community

---

The suggested age range is children entering 1st grade - 6th grade. This is not a program for children under 5. Younger kids have a harder time sitting still in the whale and it's sometimes disruptive to other people who are listening. 

Once patrons reserve their spot, they will have access to our resources page. We also have a resources page for librarians that includes marketing materials, book lists, and other activities that you can make available to your patrons. 

Unfortunately, this is an inside activity. Heat, wind and rain prevent us from setting it up outside, so we don't book outside programs.

The whale is an 8 ft tube that is 43 ft long (essentially.) With the flippers out, it’s about 30 ft wide, but because it’s inflatable, the flippers are flexible and can go against a wall. If the diagonal of a room is 40 ft, that will work. I usually will walk out 14 big steps to see if it will fit. The other thing is that around the tail stock, it gets smaller, so sometimes that can fit through a doorway. The flippers can go between stacks of books.

 Have teens curious about ocean or conservation careers but unsure where to start? In this inspiring virtual or in-person program, Cynde shares how she turned her childhood love of whales into a career—leading to a Guinness World Record! Students will learn how whales are studied today and explore the many paths—through science, art, technology, and more—that can lead to a future in conservation.

 No whale nearby? No problem!
All of our programs can be done virtually—bringing the wonders of the ocean straight to your screen. Through interactive sessions, patrons will explore whale biology, ocean habitats, and the importance of conservation. It’s engaging, educational, and perfect for audiences far from the coast.
