Such a clever critter, possums

A BABY possum camped out between the books in Cooroy Library’s junior fiction section gave staff a surprise last week.
A staff member, returning some books to the shelves, spotted the possum hiding behind a copy of Ginger the Stray Kitten.
Staff suspect the possum snuck in through the doors to the children’s outside area.
“We thought it was ironic that Cooroy is known for the possum and we had a super cute one visiting Cooroy Library! It was a hot week, so maybe it was drawn in by the cool or just wanted a quick read,” Tracey King from the Library said.
Staff cordoned off the area and called in the Wilvos to rescue the furry visitor.
“Terrie from the Wilvos arrived soon after and escorted our little mischief-maker from the building to a local gumtree near the Mill Place creek area,” Ms King said.
“Our furry friend proves that libraries are loved by all creatures, great and small.”
