My name is Reed, and I live right here in Mansfield. Unlike my friends and siblings who love to sleep all day, I prefer exploring, playing, and reading during the daytime. It can get a little lonely wandering around alone all day. But one morning, I followed the B&O Bike Trail looking for adventure, and that’s when I discovered the Library.

I peeked through the windows and saw people laughing, making crafts, and studying together—all in the daytime! That first day, I was too shy to go inside. Soon, though, I just couldn’t resist seeing what the library was all about. Right away, I felt at home with the friendly staff, and there were so many things to learn and do.

Now, I’m the busiest raccoon in Richland County! As an official staff member and #1 library fan, I recommend books, create things at the programs, and explore something new all the time. Sometimes, I ride along on the Bookmobile to deliver books around the community. All of the libraries are different, so you should check them out sometime. Come on in… I think you’ll find you belong here, too.
