Give Libby the Llama an Unforgettable Summer

Libby the Llama is The Summer Reading Carnival mascot, a carnival llama who loves to read. Here’s how you can give Libby the best summer ever:

1. If you haven’t already, pick up a flat Libby the Llama at the front desk in the Library.
2. Bring Libby along for your summer fun. If you are going on a cross-country road trip with your family, to the beach, to the park, camping, or having a picnic in your backyard, don’t forget to take Libby with you.
3. Take pictures of Libby enjoying the summer fun. Maybe take a photo of her with you and your family too!
4. Email your pictures to [email protected] and tag us on Facebook or Instagram. We will post your photos on our social media to share Libby’s awesome summer.

We will continue to collect photos through the beginning of August.

Thank you to Miranda McNeely, a member of our awesome staff, for creating this adorable summer reading mascot!
