The Library Ducks

Maybe you've seen them, this trio of feathered Library enthusiasts.
The Library Ducks.

They can often be found hanging out in the courtyard-area next to the building, sometimes napping, sometimes just being cool...

... or even waddling right up to the front door. 

They'll grumble and quack and are generally very social little things.

You may have noticed the "puffs" that two have on their heads, and wondered what they are and why they exist. I decided to do a little research, and found the answer! The secret behind the funny hair-do is simply a genetic mutation.

Why they've decided the Library makes a good hangout, we may never know. But then, we humans think the Library's a pretty cool place -- so maybe these are just very intelligent ducks, who want to peruse the stacks and find some good reads for the cloudy days!

I for one love watching the Library Ducks (and taking their pictures, which are posted to our Instagram), and  am glad they've decided we're a cool, safe place to quack.
