The library has adopted Sunny from Circle J Farms in Gordo for the Discover Dairy Adopt-a-Cow program. This program is free and provides students with education about dairy cows and agriculture. Our first calf was Ginger back in 2021-2022. We missed last year, so I'm excited to bring it back! Sunny's picture will hang in the library this year.
