Did you know that your Galesburg Public Library card allows you to check out e-books and audio books through the Libby app? All you need is your library card and your PIN (your birth date in MMDDYYYY format) and you'll be on your way to reading on your phone or tablet!
I'll be pairing up Libby books for GPL patrons with STEM activities, live webcams, educational programs, and citizen science projects. Are we ready to
Party with the Penguins!
There are between 17 and 20 penguin species, and almost all of them live in the Southern Hemisphere. Only a few species live in the icy cold of Antarctica; the rest live in South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
Read: There are a number of books starring penguins that you can borrow from Libby, including Eve of the Emperor Penguin by Mary Pope Osborne, Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater, and Five Little Penguins Slipping on the Ice by Steve Metzger.
Be a citizen scientist: What is citizen science? Citizen science is when people like you and me conduct scientific research. The data gathered by thousands of people helps professional
scientists in the advancement of their studies and increases the public's understanding of science.You can help Oxford researchers learn about how well penguin chicks are surviving by joining Penguin Watch! You'll get to count penguins and assist scientists with their studies on these important birds, and the role they play in the food web.
