Daisy the Pig

The kickoff at the Main Branch, 1740 Central Ave., took place June 2, at 10:30 a.m., when Daisy the famous pot-bellied pig visits the Main Branch with her friend, Farmer Minor. Daisy, who likes nothing better than for a human to read to her, became the first pig ever invited inside the U.S. Capitol back in 2002. She also received her own letter from First Lady Laura Bush. Daisy, who hails from Bristol, Conn., is traveling the country this summer to fulfill her mission: encourage youngsters to develop a love for reading. Daisy has hundreds of library cards from the schools and libraries she has visited across the country.
