Yes, I do know that I am fairly obsessed with this institution. No, I do not fully understand why I did not obtain a degree in Library Science while I was collecting such things.
Our branch library re-opened the second week of July with a new name - it is now Neyland where before it was Parkdale. It is lovely, all painted and newly carpeted. They are still working on the large children's addition and will probably have to close again in August for a bit to finish it, but story times at the library resumed for a short while in front of the temporary children's stacks. The Lone Star Baby is enamored of the pattern of scattered circles and ovals in the new blue carpet. She insists on jumping from one circle to the next, careful not to get outside of the circles on the carpet, as she says that the non-circle part is "mud". I am generally patient with such games but she is so consistent with it that I hope the carpet has not given her a disorder. If it has, we shall both have library obsessions.
Today was the Summer Reading Club Finale and we all traipsed to the library for songs and stories and - yay!- The Library Game. The excellent Ms. Linda had once again set up a scavenger hunt of stickers to be found at various locations throughout the library. It is a great game. Then there were cookies - to take home, though - no cookies on the new carpet! It was great fun.
