The Auburn Public Library's Cats in the Library program, launched during the pandemic in partnership with the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society, was designed to boost staff morale during a difficult time. The initiative brought in adoptable cats from the shelter, allowing library staff and customers to interact with them, and fostering a calm and joyful environment. The program not only provided emotional support but also had a broader impact: since its inception, over 55 cats have found new homes through adoptions. This unique collaboration continues to be a heartwarming success, benefiting both the library community and the animals in need.
