Month: June 2014

On Saturday, June 28 volunteers from the Clinton County Humane Society were kind enough to bring some of the cats and dogs available for adoption to the library.  Patrons, young and old, were able to interact with the pets, feed them treats and give them lots of attention.  Our young patrons are learning about animals this summer through our reading program, “Paws to Read”.  Along with reading, one of their activities will be to donate money, a toy or treats to the Humane Society.  All during the month of July, we’ll have collection containers at the library.  Plus, any fines and fees collected this month will be donated to the Humane Society.

Over 20 youngsters and their families enjoyed our first summer event entitled Animal Science.  Our friend John from Animal Tales in Mayfield, KY brought a tarantula, a python, a giant bullfrog, a capybara and a miniature toucan for everyone to see up close and even touch.  We learned how large they can grow, what they eat, how fast they are and why they may or may not be good pets.
