A very tall visitor stopped by Temple Public Library this week 🦒📚

Gracie said she was just visiting from San Antonio, so we gave her the full tour. She explored the shelves, helped us re-shelve a few books, and had a natural advantage when it came to anything on the top shelf.

She’s headed back home now, but not before giving Temple Public Library a 10/10 recommendation for books, programs, and friendly staff.

We can’t promise giraffe sightings on your next visit, but we can promise there’s always something new to discover.
