You could be gazing at the animal of your dreams, but you just can't tell what she's thinking behind that furry face. What if you knew a little something about her per- sonality and habits before you moved in together? The Ontario SPCA Huron County Branch Meet Your Match program, adopted from the ASPCA, wouldn't let you go home without knowing who's in that carrier or on that leash. The Ontario SPCA Huron County Branch encourages you to take the Meet Your Match' adopter survey before going into the shelter. The survey will give you a color based on your prefer- ences and lifestyle. On your visit to Ontario SPCA Huron County, you're given a pur- ple, orange or green guest pass to match with the pets that might suit you best. You don't always have to go with your own color, but at least you'll know who you're mix- ing with! "We're very excited that the warmer weather is finally on its way! It's a great time to Meet Your Match and bring a new companion and forever friend into your home," says Tamara Minns, Branch Coordinator. "Visit the Ontario SPCA Huron County Branch to take part in iAdopt for Spring!" To take the adopter survey and learn more about Meet Your Match, visit www.mee- tyourmatch. ontario sp ca. ca.

Seedy Saturday at the Lucknow and Ripley Libraries 4) Bruce County Public Library Grant Robertson Branch Supervisor For many people, the urge to get out and dig in the garden is a sure sign spring is in the air.

The winning entry was submitted by Natalie Walker, age 8, from Exeter. She cre- ated Bob the Book, whose tagline is "Join the Adven- ture". Natalie wrote a very thoughtful background story that accompanied her submission. "A boy named Bob went to the library and found an interesting book about becoming a super hero. Then, he found another book that explained that children do not read enough. He had a BIG IDEA!!! The boy thought he could become a super hero book that delivers books to children. He borrowed the super hero book from the library and read it over and over. That taught Bob how to fly, how to take kids into the book's adventures and show the kids what it was like for the people in the stories. The kids learn a lesson and they have fun on the way. Bob has fun too but he knows there are still lots of kids left to go. So now, Bob has a secret power boost that helps him deliver more books to the world!!!" Runners up were Abby Horton, age 9 and Shannon Squire, age 14. The winning entry received a $50 iTunes gift card and the runners up each received a one year Museum membership. The results of the contest were announced on Interna- tional Children's Book Day, April 2 on the library's Face - book page. There is also an album of all the mascot sub- missions on posted to the library's Facebook page.
