TOMS RIVER - The Ocean County Library will offer “Sciencetellers Present: Building Tall Ships
& Pirate Tales” at eight branches this summer.

Sciencetellers provides positive, interactive and educational science programs. Library
audiences will enjoy an action-packed adventure about quirky pirates on a desert island with
interactive science experiments to bring the story to life.

Volunteers from the audience will participate in exploring the science behind clouds,
