Games in connection with the new exhibition will also be available as well as a bird bingo for those who want to spend time in the outdoor area. The exhibition The Secret Life of Insects, is based on the book Insektenes hemmeligheter by Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson and and features beautiful watercolor illustrations, which also adorn the book, by Nina Marie Andersen. Insects are older than dinosaurs and are found everywhere, from deserts to the Arctic Circle. The children's library's summer exhibition explores the hidden world of insects in the Nordic countries. It gives insight into the adaptability of insects and tells about wasps that live for 400 million years, larvae that turn other insects into zombies and beetles with poison guns! Although some insects may seem annoying - like mosquitoes or lice, they are essential to the ecosystem. The opening is free and everyone is welcome!
