I was taking pictures at Mad Scientists Club and saw this Red Admiral on the column. So, have a butterfly. |
- The weather was weird, my garden got slugged again, but a gazillion people came to the library, I got licked by a friendly Great Dane and it was all awesome.
- Lest you think that my library looks like it did in all those pictures of cool displays at the beginning of summer, I include what we now look like at the halfway point below. Actually it looks rather worse, but I took pictures after we'd been shelving and tidying for several hours.

The U keeps falling off. Gotham is definitely due for some urban renewal soon... |
This is our 3rd? 4th? cover in less than two weeks |
The phone booth is holding on valiantly, but I foresee a total collapse coming soon... |
We lost track of stars for every name somewhere around 700 and then somebody sat on some of them.... |
The shelves are bare |
The superhero hideout has been attacked by super villains. We took off the tower to start over. |
Most of my little character stickers have fallen off, due to humidity and eager fingers |
Locusts have ravaged all the shelves |
The window is leaking |
Book bundles are flying off the shelves faster than we can refill them |
This is actually fairly tame - yesterday every single toy was out and spread across the floor |
Little fingers found a rip... |
The sign up box is showing signs of wear and tear... |
