Well...the library was a little louder, a little furrier, and a whole lot more fun today! 🐐🐰🐓📚

Hal & Jo’s Funny Farm Storytime was a huge success, with 110 children and their families joining us for a morning full of stories, animal encounters, laughter, and excitement. From squeals of delight to curious questions about our special visitors, the library was buzzing with energy from start to finish!

A HUGE thank you to Hal & Jo's Funny Farm for bringing the farm to the library and giving our community such a unique hands-on experience. The animals were the stars of the show, and the smiles on our patrons' faces said it all!

Thank you to everyone who came out to share in the fun. We loved seeing so many families making memories together—and we're pretty sure a few of our animal guests enjoyed all the attention too! ❤️

Who knew a library could turn into a farmyard for the day? 🐐

The library parking lot is about to turn into a tiny farm with questionable supervision. 🐐🐑🐴🐄

Hal & Jo’s Funny Farm is bringing goats, sheep, ponies, and a calf to storytime tomorrow morning — and honestly, the librarians are just as excited as the kids.

Also… who likes baby ponies? 👀

Come ready for books, barnyard chaos, adorable animals, and at least one librarian trying to convince a goat to respect personal space. See y’all at 10 a.m.!
