match soap with dry ice! Along with the grown-up science experiments,

The award-winning film YERT, Your Environmental Road Trip screens.
Director Ben Evans will be present for Q&A.
Tickets are $8.

YERT is
the inspiring story of three friends who travel across the USA,
visiting each state, to find out what people are doing locally to move
in a sustainable direction. So often environmental films are gloomy:
this one is about how each of us can make a difference. The film has
been selling out at festivals since its premiere in April. It won best
film in the Yale Environmental Film Festival.

Free screening of the film Wildflowers: Seeds of History.

Wildflowers is a trip through the legends, facts, and ecological impact
behind Texas Wildflowers.  Discover what wildflowers are really doing,
their historical use for food and medicine, and how they grow.

Produced by KLRU Austin, the film was shot in breath-taking high
definition video in the stellar wildflower season of spring 2010.

Space is limited, so please call the Library at 972-874-6165 and RSVP for this event today.
