Program Description

Event Details

Summer Library Program events are made possible in partnership with the Mississippi Library Commission and resources from the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP).

The Hattiesburg Zoo's Outreach Program is designed to bring a bit of the Zoo to schools, libraries and other community-based facilities in an effort to educate children and adults about different animal species, their care, importance in the world, and their conservation status.
