ZOO TO YOU!

The Onondaga County Public Library and The Rosamond Gifford Zoo are partnering in a summer program which brings live animals to the library.  Make a trip to your local library this summer and have fun with representatives from The Rosamond Gifford Zoo as they bring some of their animals in an effort to help local libraries celebrate this year’s summer reading program, Catch the Summer Reading Bug.  You’ll even get to meet some of the zoo’s exotic bugs!
