Robyn just reached out to me and said they are coming back and hoping to fill the week of May 11 with more library programs. (We have already booked Tuesday, May 12 @ 7 p.m.) </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">If you’re interested in hosting them at your library, please note they offer two options:</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Birding: “A mix of learning about birds in your area, apps and tools to help identify birds and starting to get into birding, basic tips on photographing birds, Instagram, and our worldwide birding travels.”</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Pet first aid: (This is actually how they earn their living.) “Intro that includes a talk about poisons, learning how to muzzle a pet (with practice on stuffed animals), how to create an emergency preparedness kit, and traveling with pets in the car.”</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Robyn says she has done “tons of live news locally and even on Fox and Friends”. Check out their IG account @acouplewithoutborders and especially their IG stories—they are so fun and amazing!
