The summer reading theme for libraries this
year is Libraries Rock! We went all out at my library!!!
We have a collaborative coloring station out all summer.
And a fun songster scramble.
Plus, a community puzzle that is music-related.
The kids area sure is rockin' with a pop-up stage and
faux speakers made from cardboard boxes and foil covered paper plates/cds.
Finally, we have stars and decorations hanging around.
This is the front display case patrons see when they first walk in. Yes, those are real records, a teddy bear band and neon!
A separate case has the bears playing the piano!
This is the community area with the coloring and puzzles, right next to our music collection.
And finally--we have a real record player on display, too!!
I had surgery on my left eye last week. I wasn’t
able to drive, be online, read or watch tv for a few days—and that hard!! It was difficult
going 48 hours with no reading, no computer or tv...only listening to podcasts
in the dark.
In July, it will be my right eye. And later
this Fall/Winter, PRK!!! After that, goodbye glasses. I like glasses, but
because my eye sight was progressively getting worse at a fast rate, and my
corneas were thinning I have to say bye to glasses.
I also admit I am usually a HORRIBLE patient at
home. I get whiny and needy! This time I was pretty good if I do say so myself.
I feel so loved. The other day I had assisted a female patron
with a job application. She said thank you and left. Then she went to 7-11
and bought me an ice cold Dr.Pepper!! That was very thoughtful on a very hot day!
P.S. You're extra cool if you carry all your
medicated eye drops in a Lisa Frank pencil case that you paid ten cents for at
a garage sale. Not hipster cool, but close...
