Quotes from Participants

"In general, it was fun to see how people reacted to the posters and were excited to talk about bats. Many people took extra posters to give to their children's classrooms because they were studying bats as well."

“I used resources during our Pumpkin Party, and some families don’t celebrate Halloween, so these were the perfect non holiday resources to share as these families visited the library.”

“It was funny listening to the kids talking about the bats they have seen. Or, how gross or cool different bats were.”
