Hiawatha Public Library

Exhibit Display Wall

Come meet the furry, feathered, and scaly companions behind the circulation desk. Because after a long day of shelving books, someone has to be in charge of belly rubs.

An Exhibit Celebrating the Furry (and Feathered, and Scaled!) Friends Behind the Books

Ever wonder what librarians are like outside the stacks? Step into a softer side of the library with Librarians Love Their Pets, a heartwarming exhibit where our librarians share photos and stories of their beloved animal companions.

This charming display celebrates the people behind the reference desk and the beloved animals who keep them company at home. Stop by to browse the photos, enjoy the stories, and leave a kind note for our librarians (and their pets!) in the guest book. 🐾📚
