I finally got to meet Libby from Hoover Library while at the Alabama Library Association conference this week.

Libby (who started in August 2023 as their first canine librarian) was introduced as a “facility animal” here at the conference and helps out with programs at the library. The Hoover librarians were here leading a session to help other libraries figure out how to start animal-related programs like theirs.

I realize that zero folks outside of Birmingham will be interested, but it’s always cool to see neighbors while on a work trip!
