Catch the Hatch: Butterfly Edition – July 2025 Event Gallery

From Caterpillars to Flight: Our Butterfly Release
This summer, we were lucky to witness something truly magical at the Morris Area Public Library. As part of our Catch the Hatch program we saw the transformation of caterpillars into beautiful Monarch butterflies !

Families visited the library throughout the summer to watch our monarchs grow, from tiny caterpillars to chrysalises to fully formed butterflies. It was an up-close look at the wonder of nature and a perfect way to spark curiosity in learners of all ages.

We wrapped up the program with a joyful butterfly release in our library garden, giving our monarchs their first flight out into the world. It was a beautiful and inspiring moment, shared by library patrons young and old.
