Families are invited to stop by and say hello to some barnyard friends.
On Thursday, Feb. 21 from 6-7:30 p.m., children and families are invited to the Marian J. Mohr Memorial Library (1 Memorial Ave., Johnston) to visit with some playful baby animals including some that kids may have never met before! Children will have the opportunity to pet and learn about an entire barnyard of babies including a diapered goat and a potbelly piglet. If that's not a cute enough incentive, the library will also be visited by several kittens, bunnies, chicks and ducklings during the event. After visiting with the animals, families can do several barnyard-themed craft projects together. No registration is required.
