Last week, kids at the library got a chance to check out more than just books when Green Meadows Farm came and hosted an in-house petting zoo.

Kids were able to look at learn about different types of animals, like rabbits, hedgehogs, geckos, birds and more. They were able to pet and hold some of the animals while the staff from the farm taught them about the creatures.
