Kids had a chance to examine bones and body parts from various undersea creatures during a visit to the Austin Public Library by Underwater Adventures from the Mall of America Wednesday.

The activity was part of the library’s Wednesday Summer Reading Program. Programs take place each week, at 10 a.m. at Austin High School and 1:30 p.m. at the library. Remaining programs include “The Zooman with His Animal Friends” on Aug. 4 and a visit by magician Jim Hayes on Aug. 11. The Hayes program takes place only at Austin High School.
