[R2R-OR] [Or-srp] Friday, March 18th Shoutout

[helixlibrary at helixtel.com]

Hello all,

 

>From someone with terrible allergies the thought of an animal in the library would make me feel like I am alienating patrons. I would have to pass on going into a library with an animal because I know it would make me cough/sneeze/generally set me off. I am not an animal hater, in fact I have talked my husband into the current corgi that lives (and sheds) in our home now and in the past have had cats. What mom’s do for their kids!! However, as a Library Director I would have to pass knowing that allergies are a real obstacle for people and wouldn’t want to do anything to deter patrons from coming to the library. Not only animals can be an issue but also people that wear strong perfume. Yikes, that’s a whole other topic!

 

Regardless, I wish you and the kitty a Happy Birthday. 😊

Hello everyone, 

 

Happy Friday! As someone with a spring birthday myself, I appreciate Port Orford’s birthday celebration of their library cat, Story <https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=4880875885334430&id=102032773218789>  – way to include the community in this celebration! Also, I’m curious, do we have any other library cats in Oregon? 😊 

 

I hope to see some of you and connect at PLA next week, and I hope all of you have a good weekend. 

 

Best, 

Greta
