Spotlight on: Pets of the Month

Behind the staff desk in the Teen Area you'll see some picture frames that display a few animal friends. Each month, we plan on featuring new pets! If you're interested in having your pet put on display, please fill out this form. You, the pet owner, will be responsible for decorating the frame. Once you submit your pet, we'll send you additional information to make your pet a star! Please note that we are not accepting snakes as featured pets.
