Creature Feature 2006


Jack & Thea Haugen with the Sternberg Museum brought some slithery snakes (and a few other notable reptiles) to the library on July 6 to celebrate the theme of Paws, Claws, Scales and Tales. It turned out to be a crazy day when nearly 150 people showed up to see the show! Things got downright hyssssterical when the snakes were taken out of their cages one by one to be viewed by the audience. After the show, everyone that was daring enough got to touch one of the snakes. That included the biggest snake in attendance….an oversized bull snake named “Papa.” Thanks Sternberg Museum, it was a riveting array of reptiles!

Capone

We had a “doggone” good time at Hot dogs with the Top Dog. Jeff Friesen, the Director - officially dubbed the Top Dog - cooked up some hot dogs while our local police K-9 named Capone stole the show. Here he is showing what he is capable of to Ron Alexander, Colby police officer. Capone put on an impressive performance. Everybody in the crowd learned at least one thing. It is best to obey the law if you don’t want to tangle with Capone!

Pinkerton

Thank you Mr. Kellogg for sending Pinkerton to Pioneer Memorial Library to kick-off the summer programs. He has been very obedient and we were all very thankful to see he is potty trained! We were sorry to see him go though, the kids loved him!

Summer Program Kick-off

Judy Kleinsorge is our wacky, but extremely fun and creative, children’s librarian. Here she is acting almost normal as she prepares for the summer program theme of Paws, Claws, Scales and Tales. If the kids have half as much fun as Judy does its going to be a great summer!
