TRUSSVILLE, Ala.–The Trussville Public Library is set to host a brand new animal adoption event next Saturday, May 3, that will give community members a chance to read stories to adoptable dogs and cats.
The new Wagging Tales Festival will also feature free programs for all ages, a vendor market, food trucks, a donation drive giveaway, and an author event with renowned poet Charles Ghigna.
The library is partnering with three shelters and rescues to put on the event–The Greater Birmingham Humane Society, Shelby Humane, and Two-By-Two Rescue.
Ghigna, aka Father Goose, will do a Q&A and book signing. Books will be available for pre-purchase and signing.
Other events will include arts and crafts and an outdoor storytime.
Attendees can also bring a can of pet food, a toy, or an item from one of the shelters’ wishlists to the library and be entered for a chance to win a giveaway.
The event will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
