March Madness Pets and Familiars Week Three

Hey y'all!

It's Week Three of our annual YA March Madness and I'm only now blogging about it. That's mostly because I've been out of town, and a little because until this week there were SO MANY characters to talk about. 

But now that's we've moved onto Week Three there are only 8 contenders to worry about, and many of my favorite have been dropped (*sobs*) so I'll spend less time trying to sway your vote if I write about them!

So this year we've gone a new route. All our contestants are Pets/Familiars/other not human sidekicks in our favorite YA books (with a few children's and adult books thrown in).

The Teen Advisory Group and I had a lot of fun coming up with all of these characters and I hope you see some of your favorites up on the bracket when you visit the YA area! Now, let's get down to who you can vote for this week!

Cat VS. Cat


Starting off, we have two fierce felines. 
Hermione Granger's Crookshanks or Primrose Everdeen's Buttercup? Which cat has your vote?

Fire Demon VS. Android
A cranky (and cursed) fire demon or an android who thinks she's a teenage girl?
Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle or Iko from Cinder and the Lunar Chronicles


Hell Hound VS. Dragon

                      

Percy Jackson's faithful Hell Hound from the Gods of Olympus series or the dragon Saphira from the Inheritance series?

Flying Bird VS. Flying Horse


Another entry from the Harry Potter series, Harry's own owl Hedwig vs. another Gods of Olympus/Lost Hero character, Percy Jackson's pegasus Blackjack. 

These are all tough decisions, make sure you come into the library and vote, or vote in the poll on my sidebar!

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!
