In a new partnership with the Martha Liebert Public Library in Bernalillo, NM, Coronado Historic Site is offering a new “Ranger Read and Learn” program. This monthly program is free and open to families of all ages. A historic site ranger will read a story and offer related conversation and activities.

April’s book is “Kid Scientist: Archaeologists on a Dig.” Families will learn about archaeology and visit the Archaeology Petting Zoo presented by the Office of Archaeological Studies.

May's book is “Corn Maiz,” which will be read in both English and Spanish! What kinds of plants did people used to grow in New Mexico hundreds of years ago? Explore what plants the people who lived at Kuaua and Jemez Pueblo long ago grew in their gardens. Plant a seed of your very own to grow at home.

June's book is "Coyote and the Sky." We'll talk about the stars and night sky, and participants will create a constellation to take home.

This new partnership offers an opportunity for Coronado Historic Site to share history and natural history related to the site with surrounding community members.
