OPLINpeople,<br>
I have a couple of questions to ask to those of you with mascots. We have
one, however, sometimes it is difficult to get a staff person to wear the
costume. (It's a HOT costume, only a certain body type looks great in
him...etc.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

hired someone special to just wear the costume? If so, how much do you
pay? OR...does anyone have a designated volunteer to wear your mascot
costume and have you ever advertised for such a special person to just be your
library's mascot? I'm wishing to take our mascot to a whole other level.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
