If you're needing something to put a smile on your face, stop by the large bulletin board located in the hallway outside of the library. I guarantee that what you see will do the trick! 90 students and staff members rounded up their pets and "caught them reading"! Pets that were pictured included hamsters, lizards, guinea pigs, snakes, bunnies, fish, horses, sheep, and of course, many dogs and cats!
The best part for the library staff was getting to hear all about the students' pets--what their names are, how old they are, how ornery they are, and what it took to "catch them reading"! It sounds like lots of treats and catnip was needed to get the photo!
Adults in the building were invited to judge the competition, and they reported it was extremely difficult to narrow down the entries. The creativity involved in the positioning of the pets and the book choices was amazing!
The winners received a treat for their pet and a $5 McDonald's gift card for the student. All participants will receive a small treat and a coupon for a free cookie or brownie at Chik-fil-A. Thank you to Chik-fil-A for donating the coupons!
The competition was a fun way to put a little spice into the month of January!
