Join Dan Gardoqui (aka "the bird whisperer") at York Public Library for an engaging talk you will not soon forget! Did you know that humans are often the only species not paying attention to a universal language shared among our wildlife? What would it be like if you could decipher that language? Learn helpful tips for slowing down and tuning into the language of birds; advanced observation techniques; and shortcuts for locating birds such as owls and falcons. Finally, Dan will help us understand how to foster deeper, reciprocal relationships with nearby wildlife and address the impact of climate change on the local bird population, especially coastal birds. 

This program is part of our 2025 Climate Change Series: Coastal Impacts and Resources.

The World That Was Made By Plastics: A Chronological Encyclopedia of the Modern Era

By James Kences

The history of plastics is far more complicated than most might think, and extends farther into the past than most realize. How we got to the place where we are, with plastics encountered in so much that we use on a daily basis, occurred as an evolutionary process for close to two centuries, and this display which you can walk through will provide some of the clues to how this happened. . .
