Hi, out of curiosity, does it need to be an animal ? Thinking in a plausible name for the mascot, I came with the name 'Libro' which means book in spanish, and maybe in some other latin languages too, and these are the results of searching book + mascot in google in case it helps for inspiration: https://www.google.es/search?q=libro&client=ubuntu&hs=EzW&channel=fs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjoi_Lqh8PTAhXJlxoKHadDDvsQ_AUIBigB&biw=1301&bih=641#channel=fs&tbm=isch&q=book+mascot
