Splashing into Summer

Children's library blogs are alive with news of summer reading because we are in the midst of it!  After all the days, weeks and months of prep, it's showtime. 

It's going pretty well so far here.  We started on Saturday and three days of dreary weather are really making a difference. This morning we signed up a new participant every two minutes.  That equals madly exciting chaos.

Our shelves are far emptier than a week ago; we are seeing familiar faces reappear after a year using their school libraries; and we are seeing brand new kids who were tempted by our school visit book talks; jellyfish hat and baby shark song to be first-time summer library program participants.  Our database is slicker than slick and will yield amazing information to help us craft future programs.  SPLASH!
