Cute fang alert

Bats are pretty awesome—and a little scary. It's not often most of us get the chance to see one up close. This weekend, the Sacramento Public Library's Pocket-Greenhaven branch will give people that opportunity with an educational live bat presentation. Educational, great, but let's be honest—this is all about getting to see the creatures' little vampire faces. The bats for this program will be provided by the Northern California Bat Rescue and Education Center, a group that rescues and rehabilitates injured and orphaned bats. Free; 1:30 p.m., Saturday, March 14; 7335 Gloria Drive; (916) 264-2700; www.saclibrary.org.
