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,

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!
