Kate Warren Scooter, The Library Hamster

Hello everyone,

So I mentioned that my icon is a pic of our dwarf hamster, Scooter. Scooter lives here in the Children's Room and has quite the following among our patrons. However, some people were shocked (rather impolitely, I might add) that Scooter is a DWARF hamster. Several responses to that fact have been : "Really? Are you sure???" or "Wow, that's a big dwarf hamster" or "That's one fat dwarf hamster!".

Let's be clear: perhaps I've been a little overzealous with her… Continue
