Introducing.. Ember! 🧡🦎
Thank you to our community for helping to name our new library dragoness! We had an incredible 1,233 votes for our sweet girl's name. The competition was close, with the top three names being Matilda (212 votes), Phoenix (228 votes), and our winning name, Ember, had 260 votes! ✨
Our beautiful lady is full of personality! Ember loves to climb, and is oh so fast! She has big shoes to fill in her role as Manager of Crickets and Mealworms, but so far her job performance exceeds expectations.
Be sure to stop by to meet sweet Ember. She loves seeing your smiling faces! Bonus if you read her a book. Like Norbert, Ember LOVES to be read to! 📖
