Big Ol' Post


Sorry it's been so long since I posted last! It's been a busy few weeks. Let's see, what have we been up to here at the library?

We created some much needed spaced in the YA department! Now you can browse for books without bothering the people sitting in the big arm chairs. We're also open to hear any of your ideas about improving the space, so let me know what you want to see in that area and I'll see if I can make it happen!


We've played some games--Apples to Apples which is a hilarious game.

We worked on our Deconstructive Journals and watched Nanny Mcphee.

The TAG kids handed out lots of free goodies at the FIG Festival.

All in all, it's been crazy but a lot of fun. And I suspect it's going to get crazier with End of the School Year Madness. :)

Luckily, my semester is almost over. This means that I finally have time to read anything I want! I've got a whole stack to go through including Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson and Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. Is there anything else I should be reading? Let me know and I'll add it to my list!

Coming up this week is a TAG meeting (tonight from 6-7) where we will judge the poetry contest submissions. And the Coffee House Poetry Reading on Friday, so come dressed like a Beatnik and be ready for some awesome poetry!
Hope to see you there!

Zaki Con 2019: Cosplay Contest!

The final event  of Zaki Con is our cosplay contest. I assume you're familiar with cosplay if you're reading, but just in case you aren't: cosplay is " the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime." And anyone can do it! Young and old alike are adorable when dressing as their favorite characters from books, movies, and anime! At Zaki Con, we want to see your interpretation of cosplay! You can enter as one person or as a group (though groups will have to share prizes if they win). All you have to do is come dressed as your favorite character. Since Zaki Con is a family event and it is held in the public library, all costumes must be appropriate for our setting and audience! Entries will be judged by a panel of judges from the library and the community. We look forward to seeing your cosplays during the Con and at the contest which will be held at 5:00pm on Saturda

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

 1. Gather supplies.  2. Unwrap one length of duct tape and carefully set plastic bag on top. Go slowly so there are no air bubbles in the duct tape! 3. Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did. Trim sides so everything is even.  6. Optional, if you want to store your pencil bag in your binder, mark where the rings are located. 6. Use a hole punch to make holes. 7. Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!
