National Immunization Month
August has also been designated as a time to highlight the importance of keeping current with immunizations.  Our display includes a couple of charts to help guide you on what you need.  It also identifies some books that can help you understand on why some of the immunizations are needed.

Earthquakes & Volcanoes

This display features disasters such as the damage an earthquake may cause and why volcanoes erupt. An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor, temblor or seismic activity) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that create seismic waves.   A volcano is an opening, or rupture in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, ash and gases to escape from below the surface.
