Nation's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, resides in local library

One of the nation's most marvelous marmots lives at the local public library in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Punxsutawney Phil, and other 'relatives' reside in a climate controlled enclosure with their own personal caretaker and handler to meet their needs. On a side note, Phil is not available to other libraries through interlibrary loan. Visit http://www.groundhog.org for more info on this famous forecaster.
