every single Tuesday around this time is our good friend Rich ready from the Ann Arbor Public

Library. Rich, good morning, all right? Good morning. Doing great. You doing all right? Yeah,

you know, it's a little, a little chilly out, still snowy. This is your kind of weather. Hoth-like, yeah. I wouldn't say that. I expected you to be hitching up the team this morning. No, just the CRV with the salt stains on the side. That's what we're driving today.

That's what they say, hitch up the team, right?

Yeah.

So they say, well, in D'Ontario.

Well.

There are a lot of people a little more north of me where, yeah. Yeah, I hear you. I hear. So, Rich, before we get into the townie top three, we always start out talking about what's going on at the Ann Arbor District Library. What's up at AADL.org? Yes. I've talked about this before. We, we procured, we launched a mascot this summer a caco g shins our groundhog

and this is not a little ground this is a big this is a big groundhog um This is a big, this is a big groundhog. Um, but a caco. And if you have a groundhog mascot, you have to throw a groundhog party. Now, groundhog day is on a Monday. So we're not going to ask people to come to the library. They're going to work. They got to go to school. So we're going to hold the groundhog party on Sunday. This Sunday, February 1st, downtown library, 12 o'clock to 2 p.m.

You come and you celebrate a groundhog party.

We're going to have crafts.

We're going to have buttons.

We're going to have stickers.

And the mascot, Akaka, will appear at 1 o'clock for some photos and some waving and all the rest.

It's pretty, the groundhog.

It's pretty, the, the groundhog is big.

Would have to go sideways through that door.

It's a big, it's a big groundhog.

So question, Rich, because I always get it mixed up.
