Garrard County Public Library

Your enthusiasm for our Adopt-a-Dino program blew us away, and our first herd flew out the door in mere minutes. Because so many little paleontologists missed out, we went on a rescue mission and brought a brand new herd of 100 plush dinosaurs back to the library! These gentle giants are ready for their forever homes and are waiting for you right at the front desk. There is no formal program this time, just stomp on over during regular hours to claim your prehistoric pal!

We have 100 dinos that are first come, first adopt. To help us spread the joy, we kindly ask that if your family was lucky enough to adopt a dinosaur during our first wave, please leave this herd for the children who missed out last time. Thank you for your amazing community spirit and for helping every young reader get a chance to smile! 📖✨🦕

We are thrilled to bring Barry Mitchell’s Fossil Funhouse to the library! If your kids love dinosaurs, magic, and laughing until their sides hurt, you absolutely cannot miss this show. Barry blends comedy, total silliness, and fascinating fossil facts into a high-energy performance that will have the whole family entertained. It's the perfect way to keep the Summer Reading adventure going! Bring your junior paleontologists and join us for a roaring good time! 👇 Tag a friend who needs to bring their kiddos!
