(Ginger pictured left, Fred pictured right)

Ginger and Fred have called Nash Library home since 2021. They’re brothers, best buds, and professional snugglers. You’ll often spot them:

• Lounging at the Front Desk (sometimes on a student worker’s cardigan)

• “Helping” with homework by sitting directly on it

• Perched by the front doors in the mornings, watching squirrels and birds—and waiting to be greeted by you!

They love gentle pats and friendly hellos.

Walter — “The Walt-man”

Walter is Library Director Nicole McMonagle’s corgi and an occasional visitor. He loves meeting people and may announce himself with a very deep bark—he’s friendly, just enthusiastic. Walter is working on becoming friends with Ginger and Fred; the cats are… still deciding.

Pet Etiquette (for everyone’s comfort)

• Ask before you pet, and let a cat or Walter come to you first.

• Don’t feed our animals or share your snacks.

• If they’re sleeping or tucked away, please let them rest.

• Wash or sanitize hands after petting (allergies are real!).

• If Walter is visiting and you prefer space, just let staff know—we’ve got you.

Come by Nash Library and say hi to Ginger, Fred, and (occasionally) Walter!
