Volunteer Appreciation Post

Every summer we have hundreds (and hundreds!) of kids attend our programs. The programs include magic shows, balloon animals, snakes, clowns, crafts, and lots of screaming/adorable/hyperactive kiddos. That is basically a list of things that terrify most people. We are able to do all of this with the help of our trusty volunteers. And believe me, they are worth their weight in gold. Our volunteers help set up for programs, assist during the programs by taking pictures, counting attendees, helping kids with the craft, and then clean up afterwards. All for free! 


We had a really great group of teens helping out this year and we want to show how much we appreciate them with a special party. Next Monday, July 22 from 11:30-12:30 anyone who has volunteered for us this summer is invited to join us in the library's activity room for food of some sort (we haven't decided yet!) and general appreciation. We hope you can make it!

DFTBA,

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the second time around

Sirius Black's Wanted Poster Title/Year originally published: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/1999 When I originally read it: 1999, I believe I got it for Christmas… What I thought of it then: When I first read this book I thought parts of it were the saddest things I’d ever read. When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Raven Cycle Fan Art!

So. The inimitable Maggie Stiefvater created a deck of tarot cards based on her Raven Cyle series and she's holding a contest to give away 10 decks of them. Keith decided he couldn't do anything worthy but he thought I could.  Since I'd just completed a project using acorns, I thought: "Hey, I could make The Acorn Boys!" And Keith's response was: "You were put on this earth to make Acorn Boys."  And so, I present to you, The Acorn Boys based on The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater.  First we have our heroine Blue Sargent, daughter of psychics but no psychic herself. She reminds her mom of the Page of Cups and gets called Blue Lily by a crazy lady (I chose a Calla lily because I like them better than the other kind, plus I love Calla). She is known for her DIY style and short, dark hair. I made up the rest of her face because there isn't a ton of description about it, but we know she's tiny because she didn't eat her vegetables.  ...
