BugFest 2017: Dragonflies!

This Saturday September 16 from 9am-5pm, Special Collections and NCSU Libraries staff will be at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences for BugFest 2017, with this year's theme: dragonflies!  Stop by the NCSU Libraries "Ask Us" station on the 3rd floor (near the T-Rex fossil) for origami, stamps, coloring sheets from our digitized collection of E.A. Seguy prints, and more activities for the kids.

Our participation in BugFest evolved as a result of the Special Collections Research Center's development of collections in entomology, including the Zeno P. Metcalf Research Collection, and the event, "Bug-O-Rama," in the early 2000s that developed into the BugFest we know and love today. 

Check out more of our bug-related collections in our digitized collections, learn more on our website, and contact us for more information about our rare book and archival collections in entomology.

Dragonflies and other bugs featured in a 4-H Entomology collection and study work book.
