Join us at Rice Public Library on Wednesday, April 15th at 6:00 PM for a hands‑on, family‑friendly insect adventure with Bug Hunt!
Local entomology educator Brandon Lee will be bringing a fascinating collection of live insects and sharing the surprising, funny, and downright amazing stories behind the tiny creatures that live all around us. Kids and adults will get to see real bugs up close, learn how they help our ecosystems, and even discover which ones are secretly the heroes of the natural world.
This program is perfect for curious minds of all ages — whether you love bugs, fear bugs, or just want to understand them a little better. Expect laughs, learning, and maybe even the chance to gently handle a friendly critter or two.
Free and open to the public. Come get buggy with us!

Join us for a screening of the 2025 documentary, ‘The Librarians,’ with a panel discussion to follow.
“When lawmakers seek to review a list of books, librarians find themselves on the frontlines of a national battle. Across the U.S., librarians face the impact of uniting against library collection standards that include restrictions on race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. Drawing on historical context, ‘The Librarians’ explores the broader implications for education and public life.”
Panel members:
Dr. Susan Goodman
President of the Rice Public Library Corporation Board
&
Dr. Dianne Fallon
Former Chair of the Capital Campaign Council for
Rice Public Library’s 2021-22 Construction
