If you had the chance to visit Little Walnut Creek branch you probably met Junie and Ramona. They have beautiful long brown and black hair, and they are the only ones allowed to eat in the library. Of course we are talking about Junie and Ramona the guinea pigs!!! Their names are inspired by the juvenile fiction book characters Junie B. Jones created, by the writer Barbara Park and, Ramona Quimby, protagonist of a series of books by Beverly Cleary.
But Little Walnut Creek is not the only library in the country that has “furry staff members.” Dewey Readmore Books was the resident of the Spencer Public Library in Iowa for 18 years. A staff member found him in the book drop with his paws frozen a cold morning. Since then, he has been one of the most famous library pets in the United States. Tourists often included this library in their trips so they could meet Dewey. He received mail and still has a fan club.
Ocean Shores Library in Washington has Olivia and Waldo, two beautiful cats welcoming patrons. Azle Public Library in Azle Texas has Molli, the cat as their library pet.
If you haven’t met Junie and Ramona, you will have to wait until December when Little Walnut Creek reopens, but if you are planning on traveling nationwide or even abroad, why don’t you check the following map? You might be visiting a town where the library is the home of a celebrity pet: http://www.ironfrog.com/catsmap.html.
