Quacking and clucking could be heard from the meeting room of the Murrayville Library on Friday afternoon.
In the lead-up to Easter, the library played host to the Otter Flying Feathers 4-H Club which brought chickens, chicks, ducklings, quail and rabbits.
A large crowd could see the animals up close and pet them as they learned about the poultry and rabbits March 22.
It鈥檚 not the first time the library has hosted the club. After the club鈥檚 first visit in early November, the library then hosted the Greyhaven Parrot Sanctuary that same month, before this most recent animal visit.
