Live stream with llamas and staff of Hard Rock Llama Company of Ada on July 7; live stream with a variety of farm animals from The Quarry Farm of Pandora, Ohio every Friday; and watch a video from ​Pet Partners​, the therapy dogs and handlers who bring us Paws 2 Read ​throughout the year, starting on July 13.

Virtual game night begins next Tuesday

Meet Quinn the Fox on Friday’s Animal of the Week shown at 10 a.m. on the Bluffton Public Library Facebook Live.

The program is part of the summer “Quarry Farm Fridays,” sponsored by the library and The Quarry Farm, rural Pandora.

Those who attend live may ask questions via the Facebook chat. Those unable to attend may view the video later in the day when it is posted on both organizations' Facebook pages and websites.
