Cass District Library is partnering with Joseph “PaleoJoe” Kchodl, an award-winning paleontologist, author and storyteller, to offer an exciting hands-on program called “Dinosaurs Around the World” at 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 12.

This free family program will be at the Edwardsburg Branch of the Cass District Library (located at 26745 Church St. in Edwardsburg).

This program has been sponsored by the Joyce E. Humphrey Memorial Fund.

For over 30 years, Joseph “PaleoJoe” Kchodl has been a steward of the past.

In 2001, Joseph won the prestigious Katherine Palmer Award for Paleontology, in part for his educational efforts.

He will bring dinosaurs to life for your children with a T Rex tooth, a velociraptor skull, dinosaur puppets and a variety of amazing fossils.

PaloeJoe’s high-energy program makes kids feel like they are actually there with the dinosaurs.

Don’t miss this exciting free adventure!

Books will be available for purchase at the program as well.

PaloeJoe’s Dinosaur Detective Club is an irresistible chapter book series filled with page-turning stories and cool facts about dinosaurs.

Teachers and parents will also love the quality of the stories, written by PaleoJoe with his brilliant co-author Wendy Caszatt-Allen. Following the program, PaleoJoe will be available to sign books.
