Stephenson Memorial Library in Greenfield celebrated the end of its summer reading program with a bevy of exotic animals. 

Derek Small of Wildlife Encounters brought a wallaby, a tarantula, a Flemish giant rabbit, and a number of other critters, giving the jam-packed Wensberg Room an opportunity to see the animals up close and personal.
