SANDY BEACHES: At first glance, the sandy beaches of our New Hampshire coastline look a lot like deserts, just piles of sand. However, beaches are full of life and the ecosystems must be able to adjust with the constant rise and fall with waves, tides, storms and seasons. Explore this dynamic environment through a series of hands-on explorations of sand, life and the challenges of living with the surf.

We are excited to announce that UNH docents will be here providing an interactive, hands-on experience! This event is geared to youth in grades K-3 and will take place on Wednesday, June 29^th, at 6:00 PM. Registration is limited, and Kimball Library cardholders will have priority.
