[kids-lib] Animals at Storytime

[Taylor Worley]

Good Morning,

I am looking at having a rabbit (named Jasper, just for trivia purposes)
visit our storytimes. Jasper has made appearances at one or two elementary
schools and has done very well; he has a sparkling bunny reputation. I'm
meeting Jasper tomorrow and discussing things more in-depth with his owner.

Now, my big question is this: when you have fuzzy, live friends in your
library, what unique preparation steps do you take? Do you have special
rules/regulations and what type of arrangement do you have with the animal
owner?

Regarding legality issues, I have a question in with the Lane County Law
Library and we have legal representation with whom I can consult, so I'm
not worried about that aspect. I'm looking more at logistics/best practices
types of information.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
