Where the Wild Things Are
As in our childhood storybooks (and dreams), animals took over cities, towns, suburbs, and exurbs while people around the globe locked down to slow the spread of Covid-19. Goats crashed through a village in Wales, ducks paraded down boulevards in Turkey, cows sunbathed on beaches in Spain, peacocks window-shopped in Dubai, macaques mobbed streets in Thailand. In Storrs, Jonathan XIV had the shelves of Homer Babbidge Library all to himself — “Balto” or “The Call of the Wild”? Although the physical space was closed, the library provided online support to students, even creating early morning (as in 2 a.m.) Help Desk hours for students on the other side of
the globe.
