WE WILL BE CLOSED FEB 5-11 FOR CARPET INSTALLATION! Despite this, your library is bringing A-game attitude and programming for the month of February- and we’re also bringing a new newsletter highlight:
Pet Profile ✨
Each month we highlight a different librarian pet pal and their antics! This month’s Featured Pet is: Theodore the Cat!
Theo is a 3yr old giant of a cat that lives in Miss Janel’s house and sometimes forgets how to use stairs. His favorite hobbies are biting, drinking water out of your cup, and climbing into the basement ceiling. His large ears make a flappy sound when he shakes his head.
