Even nature sancturary libraries have problems with unruly teenagers hanging around in the parking lot.
These geese are at the awkward stage between being yellow fuzzy poofballs and tall feathery adults. As a result, they listen to emo music and wear heavy eyeliner. Someday they will grow up to be pâté.

I love geese. I hope they don’t end up as pâté.

I love this pic. Oddly, we have a mama duck sitting on a nest with 10 eggs in our library parking lot right now….

These are Canada geese, and nobody in their right mind would try turning these into pate. It’s not even worth anyone’s while to roast them, as they are tough and tasteless (I understand). Pate comes from specially-fed geese in France.

Hey, at least these “teens” are being supervised!

Yes, but how do we transition them to traditional library services? Won’t someone please think of the children??
