Live Animals at the Library

Don't miss Monday's "Un-Lovables" animal program, starting at 10 a.m. and presented by the Macon County Conservation District! See and learn about snakes, insects, mice, toads, and other creepy crawly animals. Registration is required.

You can read about animals in the library as well. A great picture book on this subject is Library Mouse by Daniel Kirk. A small mouse who lives in the library is suddenly inspired to write his own book. The mouse is shy, but kids who see the mouse's books are desperate to meet the author. What will the mouse do?


Another story about animals in the library is Dewey the Library Cat: A True Story. This book tells the tale of a tiny kitten some librarians found in the book drop on one cold winter morning. The librarians decided to adopt the kitten and call him Dewey, after the inventor of the Dewey Decimal system. The kitten grew up to be a nationally famous cat.
