Program at Zephyr Cove library aims to educate on the importance of bats

Cassandra Root-Gerguson, 3, checks out the bats during the NorCal Bats presentation at the Carson City Library on Saturday afternoon. Bat-rescuer Corky Quirk will also be speaking July 20 at 1:30 p.m. at the Lake Tahoe Branch of the Douglas County Library, 233 Warrior Way in Zephyr Cove. Call (775) 588-6411.
NorCalBats is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of bats throughout Northern California. It is committed to public education regarding the environmental benefits of bats and dispelling fears and myths that lead to the death of roosts and colonies. Located in the Sacramento Valley, trained volunteers care for injured and orphaned bats throughout the valley and surrounding foothills.
The Zephyr Cove library program will give guests the opportunity to learn about these animals and their importance as insect control.
