Families and their pint-sized members came in droves to the library Monday to see a few woolly farm animals.

The program is called, "Lambs in the Library," and has been put on by the Mid-Columbia Libraries for four years. A staff member of the library, raises sheep and brings in two to be pet and photographed with all the kids who come out. The library system also holds a story time before the lambs come in, and many of the books feature lambs.

"The lambs are just a great way to connect kids with the actual charters in the books and give them a visual, a lot of these kids don't have access to animals like this so it is the first time they get to see or pet a lamb," says Charity Cree the Programs Manager with Mid-Columbia Libraries.

Natalie Fluckiger brought out her daughter Danica Fluckiger to the event and says she seemed to really enjoy it. When asked why she liked the animals so much she said, "because they're soft."

"I like to pet them,"says Daniel Bugg from West Richland, adding it made him feel happy to see the baby animals.

"Cause they're lambs and they are cute," said Annaliese who came out with her mom and sister Emily Scheuerman from Richland.
