Friday May 9, 1pm at the library

In a series of programming for May’s Town Wide-Read, surrounding the book, Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt we are showing the documentary, “Nature PBS: Octopus -Making Contact.” A new age of ocean exploration is lifting the veil of mystery shrouding a creature of legend — the octopus. Dreaded by sailors through the ages, this other-worldly looking denizen of the seas is surrendering the astonishing secrets that have brought it almost mythical status. With footage of octopus species rarely, if ever, seen before — including one with giant eyes and another with antennae in place of suction cups — NATURE takes viewers into the deepest realms of the ocean for a front-row view of The Octopus Show.

Enjoy the film, grab some popcorn, and learn about the octopus!
