Program Description
Event Details
Experience an exciting animal presentation from Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens educators! Discover how different animals use their unique senses to survive—and meet a few live animal guests, too! All ages welcome. Please register all in attendance.
We are pleased to announce that our book selection for St. Johns Reads 2026 is "An Immense World" by Ed Yong!
In An Immense World, Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong takes us beyond the limits of human perception to explore how animals experience the world through senses both familiar and strange, from echolocation and ultraviolet vision to magnetic and electric fields. With vivid storytelling and infectious curiosity, Yong reveals that our reality is just a narrow slice of a much larger, richer sensory world teeming all around us.
An Immense World is available in both Adult and Young Adult editions in print, as well as in e-book and e-audiobook formats on Libby.
In its 22nd year, St. Johns Reads is the St. Johns County Public Library System's annual "One Book, One Community" event focused on creating a shared conversation on a selected novel. St. Johns Reads is proudly supported by the Friends of the Library groups. We can't wait for January 2026, when we'll all come together for this special community event!
