• We suddenly got volunteers to paint the storyroom. Now have to arrange mudding the holes and cracks, priming, taping, etc.

Book thoughts and conversations

• Had some interesting conversations with my book club kids about Forgotten Beasts. We talked about why we get rid of books (the current printing has typos) and then look at a lot of the pictures. I thought it was interesting that a lot of them refused to believe any of the creatures were real!
• Coaxed a shy patron into taking The Okay Witch.
• Most popular squirrel books were Nancy Rose's photographic picture books and Those Darn Squirrels.
