A Message From Loki

A Message From Loki

Loki underwent a procedure on his eye on July 22, 2025. The procedure went well and he is recovering out of the spotlight. 
“Hi Friends!  
After I’m all healed up, I’m going to be retiring in September. I love my library friends so much, and I know you love me too, so I asked one of my best friends if she would step in and be the new library animal ambassador.
Stop by the library between July 24 and August 9 to guess which animal she is!”
