A few awesome things to make up for my long absence.

So sorry I've been so bad about updating the blog this summer. I promise I will try to do better!! To make amends for my long absence, here is an awesome new video by John Green about, among other things, why it's awesome to be a nerd.



Also, this awesome website: Superhero Factory! You get to create your own Superhero, and they give you a great name. I can't mine but it was awesome, as you would expect.

Saw the Harry Potter, and though some of you I've talked to have been down on it for not being straight from the book, I will stand by it and say it's probably my favorite of the films so far. But bear in my mind it's been a while since I've watched the others. :) What did you think? I'm making some polls in the sidebar so let me know there and/or in the comments! To celebrate the movie release we threw a party here at the library. We ate lots, attended some Hogwarts classes, and won some prizes. Here are a few pictures from the event:


Wingardium Leviosa!

Transfiguration Class


Defense Against the Dark Arts


Care of Magical Creatures!
For more pictures, check out the library's Flickr site


Okay, that's all for now, see you in the stacks!

DFTBA,
Sti

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!
