Hedgehog Hannah
Hedgehog Hannah’s father visited the Milford Public Library Wednesday, June 5, and brought several of his animal friends to meet the children. Paul Venckus, a former teacher and father of Hannah, introduced Ivan, a 17-year-old Russian tortoise. People were able to see the animals close-up and touch them if they wanted to.
After Ivan, Mr. Venckus talked about Chili, a 14-year-old chinchilla, Grumpy; a European legless lizard; a ferret named Taffy, Charlotte, a curly-haired tarantula; Sonic, an African pygmy hedgehog; Daisy, a lionhead rabbit; Irwin V, an alligator; and Virginia, a Burmese python that was 12 feet long and weighed 125 pounds. This was the first time the library had a visit from Hedgehog Hannah, but it probably won’t be the last. Everyone had a good time and learned some interesting facts about the fascinating animals who live with us on planet Earth.
Free Lunch
The Wawasee School Corporation and the Department of Agriculture provide free lunches for children ages preschool through 18 years old. This year, you may come and pick up a lunch and take it home to eat. If you would like to stay at the library and picnic, they do have a couple of tables available donated by Polywood. Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and share lunch with your friends. The school bus will be in the library’s parking lot from 11-11:30 a.m. This is a wonderful program so support it by getting free lunches for your children. Breakfasts are also available to take home for the next morning.
Guest Storyteller
Pat Reuter is the guest storyteller at 10:30 a.m. Friday, June 21. She will be encouraging everyone to read “Redwall: The Graphic Novel” by Brian Jacques. Peaceful life in around ancient Redwall Abbey is destroyed by the arrival of the evil rat Cluny and his villainous hordes. Matthias, a young mouse, is determined to find the legendary sword of Martin the warrior which, he is convinced, will help Redwall’s inhabitants destroy their enemy. Attendees will design their own shield to take in to battle for the craft. Bring something to sit on and stay for the free lunch.
