Join Marcia and Mark Wilson from Eyes On Owls as they present their live owl program, "Owls Up Close." It’s New England’s favorite wildlife program!
This unique presentation has been a library favorite for decades! For young audiences, the show starts with an interactive reading of a big book version of “Owl Babies." The magic begins when everybody sees each of 6 live owls up close, as they perch safely on Marcia's glove near the audience. Everyone gets to practice the owls’ calls during lively hooting lessons! The Wilsons highlight the owls’ unique adaptations, habitats and behaviors in the wild, while sharing tips on how you can find signs of owls around you. Questions are taken once the owls come out. Shows run 45 - 60 minutes.
Attendees may purchase copies of Mark's award-winning book, Owling, and The Snowy Owl Scientist, signed and personalized by the author, in person after the program or by emailing eyesonowls@earthlink.net. Each book is available for $20, cash or credit.

Join author Sasha Issenberg for a discussion of his book The Engagement: America's Quarter-Century Struggle Over Same-Sex Marriage.
On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state bans on gay marriage were unconstitutional, making same-sex unions legal across the United States. But the road to that momentous decision was much longer than many know. In this definitive account, Sasha Issenberg vividly guides us through same-sex marriage’s unexpected path from the unimaginable to the inevitable.
Sasha Issenberg is the author of three previous books, on topics ranging from the global sushi business to medical tourism and the science of political campaigns. He covered the 2008 election as a national political reporter in the Washington bureau of The Boston Globe, the 2012 election for Slate, the 2016 election for Bloomberg Politics and Businessweek, and 2020 for The Recount. He is the Washington correspondent for Monocle, and has also written for New York magazine, The New York Times Magazine, and George, where he served as a contributing editor. He teaches in the political science department at UCLA.
Hosted by the Wilmington Memorial Library, co-hosted by HPL.
