“Join Blue at the Library and ‘Keep looking to learn what you’re looking for.'”
-First Spouse Tracey Quillen Carney
Meet Baby Blue Hen, or “Blue” for short. Blue is a little chicken on a big mission to find a new book. Blue knows that with every trip to the library, there is an opportunity to learn something new — the key is to keep an open mind.
