OCLAC Hosts 43rd Annual Pet Show

The Olney Community Library & Arts Center hosted the 43rd annual Pet Show on June 7 as part of its summer programming for children and their families.

Many community members got in volved: Judge Veronica Fobbs, Kelly Molina and Carla Inge registered participants and filled out certificates. The library’s student aide Cindy Rios DelGado helped with a scavenger hunt inside the library.
