9 Books to Celebrate National Fossil Day
There was a time that I was considering archeology as a profession and like many of my thoughts for the future, it was fleeting. Being a librarian was my calling and I love what I do. What’s really interesting is that my brother actually is an archeologist! And although he didn’t spend a lot of time looking for fossils, he did a lot of fieldwork and found some really cool artifacts from the generations that came before us. Today is National Fossil Day and I’m sharing a few books for you to share with your family or kids at school!
