What a wild day at the library! 🦎🐍🕷️

A huge thank you to ZooLab for joining us today and bringing along some amazing animal visitors. Children and families had the chance to get up close to a variety of fascinating creatures, learn incredible facts, and discover more about the natural world through this hands-on experience.

There were plenty of smiles, lots of curiosity, and even a few brave animal handlers! Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the session such a fantastic success.🙏🙂

We are at Fit and Fed at Tothill Park, come and say hello! 👋
