Octopus author event and artist reception Saturday, July 24

On Saturday, July 24 at 2 pm at the Richmond Beach Library, Roland Anderson Ph.D., co-author of Octopus: the ocean's intelligent invertebrate, will speak about one of the most fascinating creatures in the ocean, a complex, remarkably intelligent and often misunderstood animal.

 Afterward an artist’s reception will be held to celebrate the library's installation of "Olive," a life size model of a giant pacific octopus created by Lynn Ahnen-Turnblom, Sue Williams and Ann Blanch.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Richmond Beach Library.
