Zoomobile Notes and Logistics

Brad Hooyman will be bringing the animals to some NFLS libraries this summer as part of the Zoomobile presentation.  
Here are some notes to help make the visit go smoothly.


Needs:
Here is what Brad will need.

- one table
- presentation space (as much as possible)
- close parking space to the library (for carrying in the animals)
- If you plan on the presentation being held outside due to space issues in your library, it should be under a tent or in a shaded area to protect the animals.
- Last year's evaluations said to have as much space as possible, for Brad and for your audience. Some places got VERY large crowds.
Please plan on being at the library at least 30 minutes before the presentation for Brad to prep. Tear down should take 10-15 minutes.


No Other Animals in the Library:

There should not be other animals in the presentation space 30 days prior to the Zoomobile being there.
The reason for that is there could be a threat of disease. It takes
that long for some diseases to not be transmittable and to die off if
they are left there by an animal. Fish tanks and aquariums
that are contained are ok!

Then for sure on the day of the presentation, no other animals should be allowed in the room.
Brad will have hand sanitizer for the kids who want to pet the animals at the end.


Payment:
You do NOT need to pay Brad the day he is at your library. Instead, you will receive an invoice from NFLS for $25 per performance.


Directions:
We will be writing up directions for Brad for every library presentation, as well as including a contact name and phone number.
