RACINE, Ohio — A favorite for all ages, Nancy the Turtle Lady recently made a visit to the Racine Library, bringing with her several of her “friends.”

Turtles, toads, snakes, bearded dragons, a chameleon, and much more were on hand for attendees to see, touch and learn about.

The Turtle Lady visits Meigs County, Ohio nearly every summers as part of the library’s summer reading program.

As she explained each of the animals and a fact about them, the Turtle Lady reminded the kids that they could find the information in books, which could be found at the local library.

Following the presentation, kids were allowed to get an up close look at some of the animals and then went inside to get a free lunch and new library books.
