Hello again from Snow Hill! Lots of fun things happening now that school is out. We are involved in many activities and programs and contests. Currently we are preparing a reading contest for July. Using questions found in the Newberry and Caldecott winner books we hope to encourage our kids to read and answer as many of the questions as they can. Of course there are prizes and winners but the real winners will be the kids who read these great books.
We are also awarding ice cream cone coupons to kids we " catch reading" We stole this idea from the adult contest "caught reading" and we are offering instant gratification in the form of a coupon donated by our local ice cream store Two Scoops! A win win scenario for everyone.
Along with our summer programming we also have a wonderful volunteer who is doing some of out story time activities. On Pajama day the kids wore their pajamas and wrapped themselves in a sleeping bag while Miss Kelle read to them. We are looking forward to train day when the kids will "travel" across the street to the Snow Hill Canoe Company to see the model train display.
We have lost of plans for future events so stay tuned!

My 23 Things
Friday ! June 14, 2007
Friday is not really the best day to start a new project, but anyone who works in a library knows you can only plan so far and then forget it! So what I planned to do on Monday is now getting done on Friday. Well, at least it's in the same week.
So "23 Things" and I am on 2...hmmm. I think I will share with you 23 things that happened in Snow Hill this week.
1. Summer Reading Registration
2. Catch Kids Reading certificates
3. SAM down Monday pm, oops! unhappy teens
4. Noreen on vacation
5. Rosalie off Thursday
6. New laptop for SH
7. 12 foreign students working at McDonalds. Do you think they knew ?
8. Desperate service learning students from SHHS
9. Meet with Dawn, finalize summer programs
10.Those pesky PWs
11. Sorry staff, I am ordering more DVDs
12. Our first Senior Moment a mild success
13. Fay out sick, pinch hitting in Worcester Room
14. Alice brought donuts (God bless her)
15. Jane made brownies YEAH !
16. WHEN TO WORK scheduling for July
17. Title Source, need I say more?
18. Timesheets everyone!
19. New flowers in planters
20. Pocomoke history book rersearchers relentless
21. Pictures of storytime
22. Jean Tindley on vacation, miss her more than anyone !

I know we are all busy doing the same or similar things to keep our branches up and running and serving the public. Our true love of books and knowledge make it all worthwhile. Here is a quote for us all.
"I'm of a fearsome mind to throw my arms around every living librarian who crosses my path, on behalf of the souls they never knew they saved."
