Meet Mortimer the Blogging Moose!

Mortimer the MooseHello!

Mortimer here. You know, Mortimer? The Moose? You’re just confused because you didn’t realize moose could write blogs. Well, let me tell you, most can’t. But, lucky for me, Miss Pat taught me everything she knows about blogging.

Miss Pat is the Children’s Librarian at the Dover Public Library. Well, just for one more week. She is retiring. Retiring means leaving your work to spend more time with your husband and less time with your moose. I guess. Well. I will not cry, because moose don’t cry. Usually. Sometimes we do. Not today.

She is leaving me with Miss Dani. Miss Dani will be the Children’s Librarian now and take care of me. I hope Miss Pat teaches her everything she knows about taking care of moose. I require a lot of care. I need books. And kids. And those cute t-shirts. And music. And books. I like books.

Miss Pat told me to look at this as an adventure. That’s a good idea, because moose like adventures. In books, mostly. So I will look at this as a new chapter. I will never forget Miss Pat, but will hear brand new stories with Miss Dani. And I will still have all of you to visit me, right?
See you at the library!
