It has to be said that a library is a strange place for a pig to visit. However the Cullom Memorial Library, a precious little private library in Cullom, Illinois, welcomes visits from pigs. Especially in their summer program.
And fearless little Timatanga Moana was just the pig for the job. She is still small enough to carry so she entered the library in my arms.
But once she was on the ground and had her bearings she proceeded to walk about the children with old soul calm. 
I had brought a bag of tiny pieces of carrot and each child fed her a snack, which led her right around the circle in a perfect arc so everyone got a pat.
A great success.
She travelled well in the car too, sitting at Kim’s feet enjoying a scratch but with her eyes firmly fixed on my face as I drove. She does not have little piggie eyes. Her eyes are long, dark and wide with heavy lashes. She watches. She is a little like Sheila in her watchfulness.
Have a lovely day.

Tima makes me smile every time I see a picture of her. My husband and I were just wondering aloud if our cats would enjoy a Kune Kune companion, but I think the neighborhood association would not! 😉
I don’t know about anyone else but “Tima Goes to the Library” sounds like a children’s book that needs to be written and Timatanga Moana is the perfect name for a piggy heroine. Not that you don’t have enough to do already …..
I love that you did this. I wish we had someone like you in our town!
What a happy visit. I’ve been away and it’s such fun to be catching up with your blog.
How wonderful! Those children must have loved her.
Tima looks like she really enjoyed her day 🙂 🙂
What an amazing time those children had ! I bet they had smiles on their faces for the rest of the day. She is the perfect library pet! Great to read all that Kim had to say about her days there—-what an amazing experience!
