A different kind of circus
"Jungle John" of Silly Safaris brought several animals to show at Carroll Elementary School to help promote Flora Library's summer reading program, "It's All About the Circus!" Although they weren't the usual kind of circus animals, they were very entertaining. Pictured here, holding a python, are (l-r) Bailey Maxwell, Tanner Powell, Alex Hickner, Alexis Brooks, Sandra White, Daniel Butcher, and Cathy Butcher from the Flora Library.

It was all part of a convo at school to draw attention to the Flora Library's summer reading program which runs from June 4-July 20.
