LATI and Yeti

Greetings, and welcome to the first post in my LATI blog. What is a LATI, you ask? As you can probably tell by the way it sounds, it's very much like a Yeti, the "apelike animal cryptid said to inhabit the Himalaya region of Nepal and Tibet," according to Wikipedia.

Unlike the Yeti, however, the LATI resides in Maryland's public libraries. Like the Yeti, the LATI is a huge, dangerous animal capable of vast destruction.

Yet both the Yeti and LATI have a tender side, as evidenced by Bumble in the much-watched holiday favorite, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
