Enjoy an informational talk from The Nevada State Museum on themes relating to this year's Summer Reading theme of "Unearth a Story". Community Room.

Join staff from the Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas to learn about the Tule Springs Expedition, also known as the Big Dig, of the early 1960s in Southern Nevada. Curators will show historic photographs from the excavations and discuss how the dig shaped paleontology, geology, archeology, and our understandings of local and natural history. They will also showcase fossils from the museum’s education collection as part of a larger discussion about fossils and how they are used in museums to tell larger stories.
