I wonder why there are so many lions at libraries. New York Public LIbrary has a pair of famous lions, and there was even a television show for children called "Between the Lions" about learning to read through books in a library.
@elkereturns -- my niece used to watch for my name to scroll by at the end of the show, and I told her she didn't need to watch it if she could read that quickly. So glad you liked the show!
