Photos from Oct. 10 Friends Event
During Young Alumni Weekend, the Friends sponsored a Children's Hour. The idea was to provide an hour of fun and games for the children and grandchildren of Friends members while the grown-ups listened to Stephanie Wilkinson, our guest speaker and co-founder of Brain, Child magazine. It didn't quite work out as planned. Stephanie was very informative and helpful with her ideas of how stay-at-home moms can still be part of the world. Unfortunately, NOBODY could tear themselves away from the critters so her talk was not as well attended as we had hoped. Below are some photos from the day.
Are you sure a binturong likes librarians?
A very friendly kangaroo!
Some children tore themselves away from the animals to enjoy book arts with Humanities librarian Yolanda Merrill.
And others enjoyed face painting with Friends of the Library Board member Michael Lynn.
Not ALL animals are fuzzy...
Stephanie Wilkinson soldiered on in the face of stiff competition from hopping animals and squealing kids.
Children of all ages enjoyed the day and the events.
I thought hedgehogs were bigger!
Anything to eat in here, or just books???
