Firefly Conservation Lecture Set For August 12

The Half Hollow Hills Community Library will host Conserving Jewels of the Night on Wednesday, August 12, at 6:30 pm at the Dix Hills branch. The program, presented by the Xerces Society, will examine fireflies, their role in local ecosystems and ways residents can help support their conservation. The library describes the presentation as an educational community lecture. Residents should check the library's registration information before attending because adult programs generally require advance registration.
