Holy Lemurs in a Library, Batman! We had an actual lemur in the library. We gave him a book sale book. He loved it so much he ate part of it. His paws were like velvet gloves. Thanks to our patrons for coming out last night to our after hours Friday party with the Party Paws Mobile Zoo (it's a rescue animal zoo). It was amazing to see, touch and learn about exotic animals.
