Longtime Lorain Public Library patron Nemo, a veil-tailed goldfish that has been living in the Domonkas Branch in Sheffield Lake, is making a move to Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital as a therapy animal.

Diane Pekarek, who is in charge of the University Hospitals Pet Program, heard that the Lorain Public Library System was looking for a new home for Nemo.

"I wanted him to have a great life and purpose so invited him to come to Rainbow to make kids happy," Pekarek said.

Nemo will have his own tank since he’s been on his own his whole life.

CLEVELAND — Longtime Lorain Public Library patron Nemo, a veil-tailed goldfish that has been living in the Domonkas Branch in Sheffield Lake, is making a move to Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital as a therapy animal.

Diane Pekarek, who is in charge of the University Hospitals Pet Program, heard that the Lorain Public Library System was looking for a new home for Nemo.

"I wanted him to have a great life and purpose so invited him to come to Rainbow to make kids happy," Pekarek said.

Nemo has been stationed at the Sheffield Lake location for the past seven years after he was donated by a past staff member as a replacement for a goldfish that was purchased for a Summer Reading Program.

“While we love the little guy, we’ve come to realize that we are not the best home for Nemo,” said LPLS Director Anastasia Diamond-Ortiz. “He is getting older and needs to go to a home where they know how to best care for him, which we really don’t. The library is just not conducive to fish care.”
