DINO DAY!
Do you love Barney? Do you love Jurassic Park? Do you love that weird old puppet TV show called Dinosaurs where the Sinclair family, Earl, Fran, Robbie, Charlene, and baby Sinclair do normal people things, but as dinosaurs, until one of the darker series finales of all time, Changing Nature?
Then DINO DAY is for you! Sunday, March 29 from 11 AM to 4 PM at the Downtown Library, featuring dino dig sites (be your own paleontologist), learning about fossils, Dig! An Interactive Performance, and screenings of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and The Good Dinosaur!

NEW EXHIBIT AT THE LIBRARY!
Starting Friday, AADL is showcasing a new exhibit on the second floor called Polio in Ann Arbor. Polio was a scourge in the U.S. and throughout the world, peaking in 1952 with 58,000 cases reported in the United States, mostly in kids under 5. University Hospital in Ann Arbor had a renowned polio wing, where patients young and old received treatment and when the vaccine came, the study of its safety and efficacy was administered here in Ann Arbor. The announcement of its success took place right here in Rackham Auditorium
This exhibit features a collection of photographs from the Ann Arbor News looking back at the story of Ann Arbor's experience with polio and the polio vaccine: a story of illness, of science, and of community.
