Southwest Branch

Meeting Room

Take a deep dive into environmental stewardship and earth science with Captain Nemo himself.

The cantankerous and ever-curious Captain Nemo will excite kids about our watery-blue planet and highlight for us landlubbers the vital inter-dependence of all living things.  This reclusive maritime hero will entertain, inspire, and challenge us, while quenching our thirst for knowledge of the Wonders of the Deep.  During this laugh-riot program, the Cycle of Life above and below the waves is showcased via encounters with the elusive Angler Fish, a giant squid, a jar of bioluminescent plankton and even whale poop!  Come enjoy hilarious slapstick hijinks, magic, bubble-play, and beautiful sound effects!  This program is most appropriate for ages 4-11.  Please register everyone in your group who will be attending.

Funding provided by the Friends of the Southwest Branch, the Friends of the Northeast branch, the Warren County Division of Cultural and Heritage Affairs and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
