Programming Recommendation - Greg Bodker & Birds

Good morning everyone, We recently hosted the "Birding and Birdwatching" program with Greg Bodker at our library and it was a huge success. Greg is responsive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the subject matter - his excitement was infectious for our audience, plus he also tailored the program specifically for our area. The program drew a large audience (our largest since a kids' program from last summer!), with a mix of children, teens, and adults. I would definitely recommend booking Greg for a library program.

I second Greg Bodker. I hosted him at Lyon Township Public Library and he was awesome. People had so many questions for him. I definitely recommend, too.

And here's another recommendation! Greg was here last week and provided a room full of birders and non-birders with a very entertaining program. Highly recommended! We will definitely have him back.
