Dr. Nick Honerkamp talks with Sapelo historian and author Cornelia Walker Bailey at our fourth annual Archaeology Day in 2009. Every Memorial Day Hog Hammock Public Library, Dr. Honerkamp and his students from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga present an exhibit of artifacts found on the island.

Singer and songwriter Roger Day performed at our library in August 2009. He sang several of his hits, including Mosquito Burrito and Roly Poly.

Fish-printing, or “gyotaku,” was one of the highlights (and yuckiest projects) of the summer of 2009.

Insects transform throughout their lifespans. Humans can transform, too, with the help of makeup, exercise and surgery. At our Metamorphic Makeover night in 2008, participants transformed themselves with makeup. The boys had their faces painted by library manager Michele Nicole Johnson. The girls (below) got makeovers with the help of Mary Kay rep, Jenny Day of Sapelo Island.

Courtney, from left, Morgan, Corey and Katie worked together to make stepping stones.

Stepping stones workshop coordinator, Ceasar Banks of Sapelo, left, and Benjamin Hall, president of the library’s Board of Trustees, share a laugh.

Our Butterfly Festival included snacks, crafts and films about insects.

Our butterfly garden is surrounded by our Community Herb Garden and our banana trees.

Reese and Kyle dug the holes (below) and Katie and Morgan planted the flowers (above).

Aimee Gaddis of Sapelo Island National Research Reserve coordinated a four-day GPS Scavenger Hunt. In this photo, she’s showing participants how to use the Geocaching site to track hidden treasures.
