Wondering how our Makerspace2Go rock painting turned out? Check out the awesome job one of our students did with her rock! Next month will be origami (and maybe paper airplanes??), so be watching for details!

Throwback Thursday: Here's a gem of a library book from 1981! "As people become more concerned about the energy crisis, it's possible we will decide we need fewer machines, not more machines. The computer might even become extinct, like the dinosaur." (pg 98)

The first of our Makerspace2Go kits went out today. November's project is rock painting. The kit includes a rock, paint brush, up to 6 colors of paint, a sweet treat and inspirational quote. Can't wait to see what our students create!

Happy Halloween! What's your favorite candy? Personally, I can just say no to candy corn (but Reece's Peanut Butter cups ROCK in case you want to treat your favorite librarian!). Mental Floss gives us the history of candy corn in this article: mentalfloss.com/article/635117…

October is National Pizza Month! Tell us what toppings are a must and which ones are a bust. Pineapple, I 'm talking about you! Lombardi's in NYC was the first pizzeria in the US. They opened in 1905. Pizzerias became popular after WWII and now almost every town has one!

It's National Coffee Day! FYI: coffee comes from a shrub! The fruit is called coffee cherries and each cherry contains 2 seeds (beans). Whether you prefer cold brew, cappuccino, or just drink it black, curl up with a good book, a hot cup and enjoy the cool fall weather today!

Love a good mystery? Check out our featured book Chase Darkness With Me by Billy Jensen. After years of reporting on unsolved murders, Mr. Jensen was fed up and decided he needed to solve them himself. To date, he has solved 10 homicides and helped locate several missing people.
