A Library Program They Talk About All Summer
Exotic animal programs designed for branch reading rooms — summer reading kickoffs, themed story times, and system-wide programming weeks. Multi-age formats, branch-friendly logistics.
“A library is the only public space left where wonder is the entire point. We try to live up to that when we walk in.”
Programs Built Around Your Reading Calendar
Summer Reading Kickoff & Closing
Anchor your summer reading program with an event that pulls families through the door. Our handlers run a sensory-rich animal encounter timed to your kickoff weekend or wrap-up celebration — the kind of programming that turns "I should sign up" into "we are going."
- Multi-age format (toddlers through tweens) in a single 60-minute window
- Animals selected for calm temperament in group settings
- Promotional photo opportunities for branch social channels
Themed Story Time Add-Ons
Pair a curated read-aloud with the live animal that matches the book — a tortoise after Yertle the Turtle, a hedgehog after a Beatrix Potter session. Children meet the character on the page and then meet the real thing. The connection lands harder than either format does alone.
- Single-branch or rotating multi-branch series
- Handler reads or co-presents alongside library staff
- Books to feature can be selected from your existing collection
Branch-Wide & System-Wide Events
Library days, system-wide programming weeks, branch anniversaries — we scale the experience to fit. A single branch open house or a coordinated multi-branch run, all with consistent quality, branded signage, and a single point of coordination on our end.
- Scales from a single branch to a system-wide week
- One coordinator handles scheduling across all branches
- Suitable for outdoor courtyard or indoor program room setups

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything library programmers ask before booking.
We work across the full childhood spectrum — toddler story times through tween summer reading events. Our handlers tailor language, pacing, and animal selection on the fly, and a single 60-minute session can comfortably hold a multi-age audience. For programs aimed at a narrower age band (toddler-only, school-age-only) we adjust the lineup accordingly.
