Quincy the Quail makes his debut at SLO Public Libraries

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, Calif. – Celebrating National Library Card Sign-up Month, the County of San Luis Obispo Public Libraries introduces the children's department's new mascot: Quincy the Library Quail.

Designed by library staff and named by both the staff and the public, Quincy draws inspiration from the California Quail, representing the local community experience.
