Chicks in the Library!
One of the best parts of spring at the Middleton Public Library is chick week. It's just like Shark Week, but cuter. For two years now, baby chicks have spent their first week of life at the library, and people love it. Chicks make a wonderful temporary library pet with their sweet chirps and funny antics!
The week includes chicken themed storytimes, chick meet and greets, chicken crafts and more. Before the chicks arrive, patrons vote on literary themed names for the chicks picked out by library staff. It isn't all about the cuteness though. Information is provided about the breeds of chickens, rules and regulations for keeping chickens, and a video all about raising chickens plays on a loop near the brooder.
To see pictures from the chick photo shoot take a look at Middleton Public Library's Facebook Page.
Let us know what cool things your library is doing these days!
