Fargo Public Library to Host Archaeology Event for Kids on Thursday, June 25
The event is open to all ages and will be held at the downtown Main Library
FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA – What can a stone circle on the prairie or the foundation of an old building tell us? Join archaeologist Amanda Baker at the downtown Main Library on Thursday, June 25, starting at 2 p.m. to unearth clues from the past and discover how these clues become stories about the people who once lived. Kids of all ages are invited to attend this free, hands-on session, and no registration is required. For further details, contact the Children’s Services Department at 701.241.1495 or ki...@fargolibrary.org.
Amanda Baker holds bachelor's degrees in anthropology and Mediterranean archaeology from Emory University and a master's degree in archaeology from the University of Cambridge. She is the author of the children's book, "Can YOU Dig It?: Archaeology Lost and Found in the Sands of Time," and currently works for Beaver Creek Archaeology and Environmental. Baker’s book will be available for purchase following the presentation.
