Texas Snakes Visit Johnson Library

Clint "The Snake Man"

As a part of the Summer Reading Program, Clint “The Snake Man” exhibited native TX snakes to educate and entertain library patrons about snakes and dispel myths and misconceptions. His greater hope is to bring about a better appreciation and respect for these fascinating creatures. Participants were able to touch a variety of non-venomous snakes.

HPL Employee, Kiara Hampton, respectfully handles a non-venomous snake.

Rosa Parks Telling Her Story

Summary of the Program

The story of the Civil Rights era in America calls to our collective mind the circumstances of a lady who refused to get up from her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama city bus one day after work.  She was arrested and taken to jail that day, December 1, 1955, and this sparked a bus boycott that spread throughout the nation. Come and hear the true story of what happened that day when Mrs. Rosa Parks stood her ground for her rights.  This one-woman interactive portrayal will dispel some of the myths behind this story and explore the many social and political conditions of what happened during the 1960s in America.
