More Than Just a Name – We've Become a Godparent to an Armadillo at Riga Zoo

🦔 Meet Globuss – Protected by Armor and Symbolism

This summer, we’re celebrating our 32nd anniversary with something truly special – we’ve become the godparent of a young armadillo at the Riga Zoo! Born on February 1st, 2025, at the Zinarium Education Center, this little creature has been named Globuss, inspired by the animated film Flow of Triumph, which won a Golden Globe award earlier this year.

The name carries powerful symbolism – it connects us as a bookstore network to a story about knowledge, creativity, global thinking, and care for nature.

🎨 Children's Drawings and Curious Minds

The celebration was filled with laughter, bright artwork, and joyful families. Children greeted baby Globuss with hand-drawn pictures full of imagination – from fantasy-style armadillos to realistic portraits, all expressing sincere wonder.

Together with Riga Zoo’s staff, children and parents learned more about this endangered species, its unique lifestyle, and why conservation efforts matter.
