Kennebunk Free Library will hold its 30th annual Pet Show on July 18 at 6 p.m. In the past, the library has been visited by a variety of animals from cows to hermit crabs – and everything in between.

The library invites participants to share a pet and receive a certificate. Kennebunk Veterinary Hospital will be on hand to help give each pet a special title. Registration and a signed waiver are required with a limit of one pet per child.

Pets must be up-to-date on shots, on leash or caged, and accompanied by an adult and owners are asked to clean up after their pet. To register, visit the library or call 985-2173.

In case of inclement weather, a rain date will be scheduled for a date to be determined. The event is free and wheelchair accessible. Kennebunk Free Library is located at 112 Main St., Kennebunk. For more information, call 985-2173 or visit the website www.KennebunkLibrary.org.

The library will also have a photo slideshow of the pets online. It will have a Facebook premiere on Tuesday, July 19, at 6 p.m. After the premiere, the slideshow will be available to watch anytime. To submit a photo for the slideshow, send an email to ys@kennebunklibrary.org. Include name, pet’s photo, pet’s name, and the pet’s age. Send email submissions by Friday, July 15.

The in-person portion of this program will be held on the library’s front lawn. Masks are strongly recommended. The 30th annual Pet Show is part of Oceans of Possibilities, the library’s Summer Reading Program.
