We are nearing the end of the summer. A majority of the kids that frequent the library have gone back to school. I've switched from working my summer schedule of longer hours to my school year schedule of nights and weekends. Summer school ended two weeks ago for Will and fall semester will start Monday. It's back to being just L and I during the daytime. We are transitioning.
The illustration of a women to reading to children is from an article written by Elizabeth Bird in School Library Journal about becoming and being a children's public librarian. The article is available to read online here.
The picture of a table full of pipe cleaners is from the library's last bash of the summer, celebrating summer reading participation. The the street was blocked off, and people enjoyed live music outside, the kids made a couple different crafts including this crown craft and there was free kettle corn, cotton candy, and hotdogs.
I summer-ized of my uniform. Snip, snip! Because I felt sleeves just wasn't an option at 103 degrees.
Speaking of attire, L's preferred accoutrement is a slightly-too-small bumble bee garment.
I received a postcard from a storytime fan. All the way from Vancouver. Now that is a library.
Made. my. day.
Lawrence is slowly starting to fill up, as university towns do the August before class starts. Young people are everywhere. They are younger every year.
Now before I go, I want to take you back for a moment. Now look at that last image.
Go back again if you'd like.
My baby mine.
Very nice! .....can't believe you even have story time fans from Canada who write with such perfect cursive!
