Homecoming Parade Update/Teen Read Week Update

Well, the Homecoming Parade was a hit. We ended up having way more candy tossers than we knew what to do with! This is ultimately my mistake as I was worried about the number we would have after many of my MAC members had to be on other floats in the parade and I wasn't sure if we'd have enough to evenly distribute candy and mentioned it to one of my PNG (Project Next Generation) students who then told a few other PNG students who then showed up the day of. Ultimately successful and each person was able to participate - I just hope I don't have to deal with the "Well you didn't ask me" complaints. I didn't ask half the people who participated...but they did and I am grateful and humbled that they would want to be a part of our float and represent the library to our community.

In other news, TAB had their Slime Prep Workshop this past Saturday to help prepare them for showing the young 'uns how to make their own slime the night of the Zombie program. The kids had a blast and the session also turned into an impromptu face-painting workshop as well. I will be posting pictures from the parade and the workshop. I hope you enjoy!

Homecoming Parade

Last week was a very busy week at my library! We had a chamber luncheon where we promoted all of our October activities...most importantly Teen Read Week. We have a Zombie Book Display up by our Circ Desk and have an awesome program planned for the end of the week. Next up this week is the Homecoming Parade for the town. I am in charge of recruiting candy tossers and already have a few very excited YA volunteers. This makes me so happy because they are so ready and willing to help support their local library and have been posting about it on Facebook and talking with me about it. Will post pictures (hopefully) once the event is over.
