Fungi Fest: Week One @ Saltville Library

We’re kicking things off with a fun, fungi-filled week at the Saltville Library! From hands-on crafts and storytime to teen labs and citizen science activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Start your week with our Monday Morning Mingle and create toadstool magnets, then join us for a mushroom-themed storytime and a Teen Fungi Lab where we’ll build a growing tent. Explore nature on your own with our midweek citizen science activity, and wrap things up with Spore Stories, a fascinating film on fungi. Plus, don’t miss Plant Bingo on Saturday and our ongoing opportunities to get involved in real-world science by tracking fungi in our area! Come learn, create, and explore with us all week long!
