We also had the Organization for Bat Conservation up here in Presque Isle County. They went into the schools and followed with a program here at the Rogers City library. It was a great experience. Learned about the issues with white nose fungus and the variety of species. Many of the students who were initially afraid of bats were not after the program. Excellent program. Highly recommend this one! -----Original Message----- From: michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org] On Behalf Of bookwoman@mi.rr.com Sent: Friday, July 7, 2017 12:17 PM To: michlib-l@mcls.org Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Performer suggestion Hi, I have seen a performance by the Organization for Bat Conservation.
