PostShould libraries keep pets?

by Diane Chen on Sun, 11/15/2009 - 8:33pm

My Library Club recently decided they want to petition the principal to allow them to have a "library pet." They are gathering information about the types of pets, number of libraries that have them, safety and health concerns, and other issues they will face. They have asked me to ask you about this since they want to be able to refute any arguments knowledgeably.
