The turtle was purchased 35 years ago by a children’s librarian. There was a naming contest and the winning name was “Spike”. Years later, a local veterinarian who was judging the library’s pet show examined Spike and declared that he was, in fact, a she. However, the masculine name stuck. Spike has been a fixture at the library for so long, parents who brought their children to see Spike years ago are now bringing their grandchildren. Noreen Ritchie says, “I could not imagine this library Hazel Urban, Noreen Ritchie, Amy Thomas—Childrens without Spike. It’s the coolest thing about the library. I Librarian, Justine Urban, and Autumn Urban (L to R) tell my granddaughter all the time that I used to bring her mommy here to see Spike, and she always gets so excited to visit.” Noreen’s daughter, Justine Urban, says, “I remember bee-lining it to Spike’s tank as a little girl. I always got so excited to see if she’d be on her rock or swimming. There have been a lot of changes to the library since then, but I love that Spike is still here. It brings me back.” • Spike Turned 35

The Summer Reading program is a good way to prevent the “summer slide” which is a decline in reading ability and other academic skills that can occur over the summer months when school isn’t in session.
