Do you remember your favorite stories from your childhood? The stories that would grab your attention and hold on forever in your memory?
In 1955, a unique discovery was made in rural Kansas. For years, this discovery would be the source of a story told over and over by a grandpa to his grandson. And because of this story, an adventurous bond would be created between them forever.
Joel Condray, author of the children’s book, “A True Kansas Treasure,” will visit the library to talk about his book and the discovery made within, the silivisaurus condrayi. This dinosaur is the only known land dinosaur found within the state of Kansas and in 2023, was named the official state land fossil of Kansas.
Book pre-orders are open and must be submitted to the library on or before Friday, July 3rd. Books are $15 if pre-ordered, $20 on the date of Mr. Condray’s visit.
You won’t want to miss this! Mark your calendars for Monday, July 6th @ 11:00am!
