A LIBRARY NOT TO BE ECLIPSED

Have I ever mentioned just how much I love our little library? I love everything about it, from it's warm, cozy atmosphere to the great selection of books they have, the ever-helpful staff and volunteers, and their wonderful children's programs for infants through teens. On top of all that there's the never-ending lineup of special events going on there, from favorite authors (Susan Wittig Albert) coming to speak, to documentary film nights, cooking demos and fun things like yesterday's Eclipse-Viewing Celebration, where they passed out over 200 pairs of protective sun-gazing glasses, and who-knows-how-many Moon Pies, Mars Bars and Starburst candies!

Did you know about the colander trick? I didn't! If you hold a colander with round holes over a piece of white paper during a solar eclipse, all the holes in it will appear to be moon-shaped!
 




The only bad part was Calvin having a hissy fit because he didn't want to leave!
