Gone are the days of libraries being filled with stern looks, silent corridors, and librarians who walk about saying “shh!” to everyone. A Massachusetts library is making a strong case for this with a whisker of fun and a paw-full of innovation.
The Worcester Public Library in Worcester has announced its March Meowness that’s all about bringing readers back to the library, even if they have lost or damaged items. And to claim this offer, the only thing one has to do is present a picture, a drawing, or even a magazine clipping of a cat.
Yes, that’s right. A fluffy kitty can clear one’s dues at the library because March Meowness is all about championing “Felines for Fee Forgiveness.”
