Reptilescheckedout at thelibrary

Children visiting the Atwater branch of the Merced County Library on Wednesday got to see some exotic animals that, to many, had existed only in books. As part of its summer reading program, the library hosted E&M’s Reptile Family in a live show. Eric Johnson introduced children and their parents to bugs, lizards, turtles and snakes in his presentation, which was peppered with jokes, education and plenty of amphibians.
