Yes, the tiny parts of our natural world are not only beautiful, but very important.

This program illustrates the amazing beauty of the eyes, bodies, and the purpose of the stunning colors and patterns in the realm of our tiny creatures. Witnessing the close-up views may help to understand and appreciate their immense benefit to our existence.

Judy has spent more than 30 years chasing, observing, and marveling at the amazing natural history found in Ohio and other states.

She is the founder of Chrysalis in Time, the first Ohio chapter of the North American Butterfly Association (NABA). Judy also serves on the board of the Ohio Bluebird Society and Ohio Ornithological Society (Conservation Committee). She has co-authored two natural history guides, "Dragonflies & Damselflies of Northeast Ohio” and "Goldenrods of Northeast Ohio: A Field Guide to Identification & Natural History.” As a former petroleum geologist and science teacher, Judy loves to learn about and share her passion for the natural world through hikes, interpretive programs, and photography. Learn more about Judy’s latest adventures and offerings through her new company, Nature Spark!

The Akron Summit County has items available for checkout, including "The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World" by Oliver Milman.

About the branch

Highland Square is one of Akron’s most iconic communities, hosting numerous street fairs and festivals, eclectic shopping and dining, and a vibrant night life. The extremely diverse neighborhood is home to seniors, young families, artists, educators, and students of all demographics. The Highland Square Branch Library is a reflection of this diverse neighborhood, with a standout LGBTQ collection and a rich programming schedule.

Reference assistance, computers and computer classes, WiFi, copiers, scanning, and faxing round out the services provided within the library. The full scope of community participation, however, is seen in local senior care facilities, local schools and preschools, and neighborhood festivals where Highland Square Branch Library staff plays an active role in creating experiences for participants of all ages. Visit us soon on the Square.
