A big thanks to Stephen Moon, Roosevelt Branch Manager, for sharing this information.
“Moon issued a challenge to library workers and volunteers to develop ideas for events.” – Steve Puro

If you are thinking of having a Doctor Who party, and why shouldn’t you be, the Hurricane Branch of the Washington County Library System can get you started. Sarah Hall of the Hurricane Branch writes: “We had over 50 attendees – ranging from an 18-month-old (who was dressed as an Adipose) to a gentleman in his 60’s. It was so much fun!”
Here are the fliers and activities to get you started.

Lauren Zachary of the Cedar City Library reminds us to have fun and play at the library. Play with programming, play with decorations, and just have fun. What we do is intrinsically fun! Click on the images for full-size fun.
We received a great a bunch of book recommendation brochures from Sarah Hall of the Washington County Library. They are thoughtful and beautifully designed. I have found repeatedly at my library that readers advisory makes patrons feel served better than just about anything I do at the library. Great work from Sarah Hall.
