Meet a Faraway Feathered Friend: ‘Penguin Pointers for Teens’ at the Ocean County Library

July 3, 2024

TOMS RIVER – We share our planet with about 9,000 species of birds, and perhaps none capture our imaginations as vividly as penguins do. Meet one during “Penguin Pointers for Teens” at the Ocean County Library. The program will be given at two OCL branches, both starting at 3 PM.

  • Lakewood Branch – Wednesday, July 31, 301 Lexington Avenue, (732) 363-1435. Please register at https://tinyurl.com/OclLakewoodPenguins.
  • Toms River Branch – Tuesday, August 6, 101 Washington Avenue, (732) 349-6200. Please register at https://tinyurl.com/OclTrPenguins.

Take a close look at one of these famous feathered friends supplied by Jenkinson’s Aquarium in Point Pleasant Beach while Aquarium staffers describe their lives and habits and the lives of their wild cousins.

“Penguin Pointers” is one of 12 informative outreach programs offered by Jenkinson’s Aquarium. You can see the birds in their Jersey Shore habitat through Jenkinson’s Penguin Cam. 

This free program for teens will appeal especially to students in STEM and STEAM curricula. For more details, stop by or call either OCL branch, or visit www.theoceancountylibrary.org/events.
