The two ambassador opossums at the Alexandria (La.) Zoo, Champ and Ivy, received their honorary library cards and helped pre-record stories for the Rapides Parish Library’s Summer Reading Program focused around animals. Champ and Ivy became the first marsupials in the state to receive a library card, even getting approval from the Louisiana State Librarian Rebecca Hamilton. The cards do work, and although the opossums won’t make an appearance in the library, they can check out digital books.
