This week at the library

Miss Esther found a dino costume for our teen
services librarian and she wore it for
two hours, much to the glee (and occasional
terror) of the small children.

Notes

  Every year we have a huge 4K party, masterminded by our Parent Connections coordinator from the school district (who also regularly does our family storytimes) and with the assistance of multiple staff from the school district and the three 4K locations. We had about 200 attendees this year, which is a very nice number. Enough to make the work worth it, but not so many that it's crowded and miserable.

  This was the last anime club - we're going to try a different format next year, potentially a "fan club" that would be more of a drop-in with different options. We really only had two regular attendees. I did a family storytime, which I rarely do, and it went fine, which was nice. We've got a really nice group of families and they were nice about missing Miss Esther (who was busy preparing for the dino party). I finished up the week on Thursday with a managers' meeting, my annual review, and book club and took Friday off.
