This week at the library; or, Why is this happening to me? I have always been a patron of the arts!

However, despite the insanity of this week,
I have TWO Swimmy bags from Kohls.
Theoretically, I could give one to a friend.
Theoretically.

What's Happening in my head and at the library

• Monday
• Playgroup with Pattie
• Read with Pearl  cancelled due to weather
• Tiny Tots (Pattie)
• I started Monday by finding a stinkbug on my toothbrush and going to the dentist. Now I think I have a cold. Why? WHY?
• Tuesday
• Toddlers 'n' Books (2 sessions) (Pattie)
• Rock 'n' Read
• I definitely have a cold. WHY ME?
• Wednesday
• Winter Wigglers: Block Party (Jess)
• January Outreach: Under the Snow (4 sessions)
• Thankfully my outreach combined their last two classes. I didn't think I could make it through a fifth rendition of storytime. I decided it's time to go back through all my "what the kids are reading" for 2015 for any requests I missed. Also dealing with Calendar Chaos. Planning, oy.
• Thursday
• Books 'n' Babies (Pattie)
• Messy Art Club: Collage
• Did I mention it's also the Book and Bake sale, so I squashed Messy Art Club into the Storyroom? And that I bit my tongue while it was numb on Monday and it STILL hurts? And that I can't breathe? And then we had an Incident and I finished Thursday spending about an hour with police and panic. I have no words.
• I plunged my first toilet of the new year.
• Friday
• No programs today. I was, to put it mildly, trepidatious about what the day might hold, especially when I heard what happened after I left last night. Thankfully, while many, many things went wrong, none of them were my problem. Phew. I left early to do a Walmart run and the week was over, to my vast relief.

Projects

• Meeting for summer reading
• Updating outreach storytimes
