Morning

Just a few early morning reflections . . .

There's nothing like knowing you get to go work in a building full of books every day! I'm the first one here most mornings, and the building just breathes the air of stories waiting to be read. I love that scene in "You've Got Mail" when Meg Ryan is walking through the streets of New York on her way to open up her book store. All I need are some flowers! :)

Here goes another week in library-land.

Harry Potter Day

Give a bunch of kids marshmallows, clay, dry spaghetti, and toothpicks and tell them to make a ferris wheel model. Well, as crazy as it sounds, that's just what I'm about to do. Our final Harry Potter Club House challenge takes place tonight and I've got the vacuum cleaner primed and ready to go. How do I keep my sanity? "It's all fun! Find the joy!" And designate kids to be responsible for the clean-up!
