Breaking news from the Lamar County Library System:

Two armadillos have moved in and immediately started reading everything they could get their paws on.

We checked the shelves, and technically, they are following all library rules… so we decided to keep them.

Meet Lamar and Artie, our new library mascots.

Lamar is the curious one, always digging around for new books and interesting things to learn. Artie is the seasoned reader who prefers a comfortable spot, a good pair of glasses, and a really great book.

Lamar was created by George, and Artie was illustrated by Rebecca. You’ll start seeing them popping up in programs, flyers, and around our libraries as they help us dig up great books and remind everyone how fun reading can be.

Be sure to say hello when you see them around the library.

Love reading but not big on assigned books or discussions? Silent Book Club is for you! Bring whatever you’re reading and enjoy a cozy, quiet hour of uninterrupted reading with others who love books too.
