During the recent Library Board Meeting in White House, TN, discussions took a surprising turn as board members addressed unexpected damage from a recent flooding incident. The meeting highlighted the swift response to water damage in the library's mechanical room, where a drain helped mitigate the impact. Board members reported that while some mildew developed on the walls, it was effectively cleaned using bleach solutions, ensuring the area remained functional.

In a lighter moment, the conversation shifted to the health of a beloved library mascot, Larry the lizard. Board members shared updates on Larry's recovery from a serious health scare, which involved a concerning incident that required immediate attention. After a brief period of not eating, Larry is now back on a regular diet, much to the relief of his caretakers. The board expressed gratitude for the support received from a local veterinarian, who provided crucial advice during Larry's crisis.

The meeting underscored the library's commitment to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for the community, even in the face of unexpected challenges. As the board continues to address these issues, they remain focused on ensuring that both the library's facilities and its cherished mascot are well taken care of.
