Library Day at Wesselman Woods

About this event

Calling all bookworms and nature enthusiasts!

Join us for a collaboration between the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library and Wesselman Woods as we combine the wonder of literature with the beauty of the great outdoors.

Come to Wesselman Woods on this day and flash any regional library card at the front desk to get into the Nature Center for free.

Once you're inside the gates, you and your family can enjoy a day of hikes, the Nature Playscape and Treehouse, as well as story time sessions and animal encounters.

No library card? No problem! Vanderburgh County residents can sign up for a library card with the EVPL Outreach Team from 10 AM to 2 PM.
