Sasquatch expert to speak

Amy Bue, co-founder of Project Zoobook and expert on Sasquatch, will speak at Dover Public Library on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 6:30 p.m. In her experience as a Bigfoot researcher in Pennsylvania, Ohio and beyond, Bue takes a scientific approach. She is a part of the Olympic Project in Washington State, where she assists in the search of DNA evidence on the Olympic Peninsula.

“We are so fortunate,” said Sherrel Rieger, library program specialist, “to have an expert like Amy Bue come share information about this interesting topic.”

A writer, educator and certified volunteer naturalist from Northeast Ohio, Bue has been involved in the search for Sasquatch since 2012. Six years later she cofounded Project Zoobook, a collaboration of Bigfoot investigators working alongside primate zookeepers, primatologists, wildlife biologists, anthropologists and other scientists. Both her individual work and work with this group earned her the 2018 International Bigfoot Conference’s Dedicated Researcher Award.

In 2022 Bue and members of her group spent time with members of Montana’s Blackfeet Nation, both gathering stories of the tribe’s hairy man and investigating encounter sites. They also were featured in the Wall Street Journal as an example of the science going on behind the scenes in the search for evidence of Sasquatch.

This program will be held in the community room at the DPL, 525 N. Walnut St., Dover. Register online at www.doverlibrary.org/events or call the library at 330-343-6123.
