The Spay and Neuter Association of Newtown (SNAN) recently donated 15 books about animals to C.H. Booth Library’s Children’s Department in memory of Penelope Meek, who was president, treasurer, Ways and Means chair, and a member of SNAN for many years.

Ms Meeks also coordinated the Cat Clinics in Newtown for many years and was devoted to assisting pet owners to receive help in spaying and neutering their animals, according to SNAN.

The books donated to the library featured stories about both cats and dogs.

SNAN has been providing help for cats and dogs in Newtown and surrounding towns since 1982, by providing information and/or financial assistance, including required vaccines, according to the town's website, newtown-ct.gov. More information about the club is availble by calling 203-426-0253 or emailing snact@aol.com.
