The Whalemobile team takes children inside the belly of a whale to explore the captivating world of these majestic creatures while delving into vital environmental lessons.

Prepare for an immersive educational journey that transcends the library's walls! The Whalemobile brings an extraordinary science experience that perfectly aligns with this year's theme: "Read, Renew, Repeat." We use Nile, our life-sized inflatable whale to spark curiosity and enthusiasm for conservation, protecting species, and enhancing ecosystem services. 

Engage and Enlighten: Step inside our inflatable whale to discover the fascinating similarities and differences between whales and humans that highlight the uniqueness of these incredible marine beings.

Why Whales Matter: Dive deep into discussions about the crucial role whales play in our planet's ecosystem. Understand their significance and impact on maintaining the health of our ocean and the planet.

Protecting Our Planet's Giants: We empower students with knowledge about conservation efforts and the actionable steps they can take to safeguard these magnificent creatures and their habitats.

Let's make this summer an unforgettable adventure of reading, renewal, and endless curiosity!
