Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) and the Carroll Public Library are teaming up this weekend to celebrate Earth Day. On Saturday, April 20, area residents are invited to DMACC’s Carroll Campus on Grant Road from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for a variety of fun, nature-related activities. Representatives from Saving Our Avian Resources (SOAR), a nonprofit raptor rehabilitation organization located near Dedman, are scheduled to make an appearance alongside Ivan the Therapy Dog and his handler, Mark Skillen. The library’s mascot, Dr. Whoot, and the DMACC bear will be there to interact with families. Coloring stations, photo opportunities and more are being offered during Saturday’s event. Attendees will also get a preview of upcoming library events, including the 2019 Summer Reading Program.
