<font face="georgia,serif"><b>Good Evening.<br><br>I have a couple of quick questions for those of you who may have a library mascot. Ours just came into the picture by way of a grant this year. He's a beautiful Library Lion and his name is Roary. He's an excellent addition to the Library and we're working on him becoming quite the celebrity in our small community.<br>
<br>1. I do not want Roary talking. In what ways does your mascot "communicate" with people who meet him or her? For example, does it do a special dance, have a secret handshake or head nod..etc.<br><br>2. Does your mascot hand things out to children or adults? We've tried a bookmark, but there's so little dexterity ability and range of vision, it's really difficult for Roary to hand out bookmarks.<br>
<br>3. Does your mascot have a special song or special event centered around it and your Library?<br><br>4. Do you have any other hints or tips you can pass on?<br><br>I'm lucky to have a young man who does a splendid job at wearing the costume. Coming up with neat ideas on making the mascot a bit more interactive would be helpful to us.<br>
