The BAT LADY to visit the Children’s Department at the Bristol Public Library!
Bats love to eat bugs, so we thought that during the summer reading program “Catch the Reading Bug” the Bat Lady should visit us at the library and show-off some of her real-live bats! Please come to the library on TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. to meet the Bat Lady (Gerri Griswold) and real bats! The Bat Lady will bring a big brown bat, a little brown bat, and a red bat. Each bat has injuries that prevent them from being released into the wild. Gerri Griswold (The Bat Lady) is a bat rehabilitator who is licensed to care for these animals. The program is FREE and open to all!
The Bat Lady says: “I have loved bats since I was a kid. I live today on the same farm that I grew up on as a child. Having bats around is part of a farm's ecology. It also helped that my father worked in forestry and he, as well as the land around me, taught me about wildlife. My mom was from The City (New Britain) and was terrified of bats. Obviously my dad's influence was stronger than my mom's. My mom feared bats because she didn't understand them. People are always afraid of the unknown. Later in life, my mom loved bats because I taught her about them.
I provide them with proper caging and food and plenty of fresh water. Cages are disinfected daily. If they are pups (babies) they need an incubator and get a special milk formula every two hours for two weeks and then I begin weaning them onto mealworms. If they are sick or injured, depending on what kind of bat it is, I put them in proper cages and give them medicine. Bats are very smart animals and learn very quickly how to feed from dishes. This might seem simple to us but it isn't a simple idea to most wildlife. I have a flight cage for exercising bats before I release them to make sure they are strong enough to fly.”
Come and meet The Bat Lady at the Library and get to know many interesting (and real) bats! For more information about the BAT LADY or the “Catch the Reading Bug” summer reading program, please call the Children’s Department at the Bristol Public Library at 584-7787 ext. 2021.

“Jay Mankita Goes Wild at the Library in August”
Songwriter/guitarist Jay Mankita will appear in the Children’s Department at the Bristol Public Library on THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. to present an interactive musical concert for children and their families featuring quirky, original songs about nature, animals, and the “wild” human beings in all of us. The shoe begins at 10:00 a.m. and will be followed by a short presentation about his veggie oil powered van!
An activist for social and environmental justice, Mankita tours in his van, which runs on recycled vegetable oil. He enjoys showing his van and his solar powered sound system to folks after the show, a talking about each one of us can contribute to helping make a better world through small, simple changes.
As a songwriter, Mankita combines humorous and serious material; addressing topical issues, but always in an entertaining way. A masterful guitar player, he blends traditional blues, ragtime, and swing styles with a quirky, original feel, and has just finished his 6th recording: “Eat Like a Rainbow,” a CD for kids about healthy food.
Mankita is as well known for his music for children, as he is for his adult performances. He is currently touring his show in 65 towns this summer throughout the Northeast. This year’s concert features a special focus on BUGS, to support the library’s summer reading program. For more information about the show, or about Jay Mankita, his van, and his music call the Children’s Department at the Bristol Public Library at 584-7787 ext. 2021 or visit http://jaymankita.com.
