What's happening in my head and at the library
This week coincided with Farm Technology Days in our county. Take a moment to google it and you'll see it's a HUGE deal. A lot of our staff were there (I took one look at "50,000 people" and "record heat" and volunteered to hold down the fort at the library....). I am feeling very meh about taking pictures of anything that is not my garden.

- Monday
- Open Garden with Jess
- Autism Support Group
- In which we have a long discussion about the ethics of killing bees who are by our book drop. Except they turned out to be wasps/hornets, which we all were ok with killing. Mostly. Pearl the reading dog was under the weather (probably literally - who would be a Great Pyrenees in the summer?) and so we cancelled that program for today. I got most of the program plans for this very busy week finished and we hashed out more things we need to discuss for the fall. It was a full moon.
- Tuesday
- Toddlers 'n' Books (2 sessions) (I subbed for Pattie)
- Storywagon: Jack and Kitty
- Mostly running back and forth between various programs and things. Hot. Busy. Lots of happy dancing little girls (for some reason we had 99% girls at Storywagon!)
- Wednesday
- We Explore Favorite Artist Denise Fleming
- I was partly asleep for this. I admit it. I had to take my mom to the airport very early in the morning and sort of drifted through the day. We were pretty quiet after a morning rush though. I spent most of the day after my program
- Thursday
- Baby Crafts (Jess and I subbed for Pattie)
- Mad Scientists Club: What floats? What flies?
- It was hot.
- Friday
- Explore Elkhorn Field Trip (3rd/4th grade)
- Maker Workshop: Brushbots
- This is a warning to me not to do programs I'm not fully invested in...I felt like I needed at least one more "techy" Maker Workshop and picked this because I've done it before. Well, the first thing was that the supplier I usually use for the brushbots, Maker Shed, was out. I should have cancelled the program then. Instead, I ordered them from a different site and had to limit attendance because I had fewer kits. Then I suddenly realized these kids needed batteries. I really dislike doing things that are so limited and I should have remembered that. This was very popular and I *might* do it again next year, but I will purchase more kits and be better prepared.
What the kids are reading: A selection
- Big Nate
- tree identification for a preschooler - Crinkleroot
