The John Ball Zoo and Michigan State University have partnered to help save endangered butterflies from extinction. Since 2021, the Zoo and MSU have been rearing and breeding Poweshiek Skipperling, and more recently Mitchell's Satyr and Karner Blue. This program will cover the milestones that the program has achieved.
FREE 2-hour parking is available in the library lot with ticket validation inside the library.
