Lately there has been celebration of animals, both wild and domestic, in libraries.
The Library of Congress hosted a bird visitor recently, a Cooper's Hawk which got lost and somehow found its way into the Main Reading Room. The hawk, nicknamed Jefferson (though the bird is female), was caught and transported to the Raptor Conservancy of Virginia.
This week, Out of the Jungle celebrates library cats.
And there have been many news articles about dogs in libraries, including in Illinois, California, and Wisconsin.
