Carroll County Library Summer Readers Enjoy Interactive Science Program
From the Jul 7, 2026 e-Edition
HUNTINGDON (July 1) — Professor Graybeard of Mr. Bond's Science Guys visited Carroll County Library Wednesday afternoon for a fun and educational program about dinosaurs, part of the library's "Unearth a Story" summer reading program.
Kids learned about the origins, biology and behavior of dinos, and the professor ended the hour with a volcanic eruption.
He demonstrated how electromagnets work and how Earth's electromagnetic field enabled life to develop.
Graybeard explained the natural processes of erosion and deposition and their roles in leaving behind the fossils that we discover today. He demonstrated the strength of hollow dinosaur bones by stacking books on a model.
He spoke about the features and behaviors of several species and explained how paleontologists arrived at their theories.
The professor got the summer readers involved every step of the way, except for the volcanic finale to his program, which delighted the kids from a safe distance.
Mr. Bond's Science Guys began in Nashville 27 years ago and provides interactive and informative science programs at schools, camps and more across the country.
Carroll County Library's summer reading program continues this week with a program by guests from Natchez Trace State Park on Tuesday, July 7 at 10:30 a.m. and a "Tea-Rex Party" Saturday, July 11 at 2 p.m.
