The ocean is an expansive oasis teeming with life and wonder hidden away under endless stretches of rolling waves. For many people, what’s under the surface is only ever witnessed in books and movies. Greater Cleveland Aquarium provides the unique opportunity to see some of these magnificent animals up-close. Watch in awe as sharks, stingrays and other sea creatures from the pages of your books come to life on your screen.
This free event can be enjoyed in two ways:
- Via Zoom in the comfort of your home. A Zoom link and instructions will be emailed to all registrants who indicate an interest in Zoom.
- Via the big screen in Main Library's Meeting Room 2AB with others. Space is limited and priority will go to those who indicate interest in viewing in-person at Main when registering.
