Today I am subbing as a librarian at our new Green Valley Ranch. We have just passed the 1-year anniversary for this spacious state-of-the-art branch. I am stationed at ASK DESK #1, right next to the cockpit. Yes, I said "cockpit". There is a life-size airplane cockpit, complete with all those luminous dials and levers that kids (of all ages) cannot wait to try.
Exploration and imagination are given free reign throughout the library. There are interactive play stations at the end of the stacks in the kids section. A little while ago two eager sisters claimed their stickers for properly identifying the Letter of the Week. They had visited the lounging areas where plasma screens and the "coffee tables" have clear tops to display cubbies full of things whose names all begin with one letter of the alphabet. Really cool!
The customers and I are having a blast!!!!!!
Just saw a proud daddy putting a picture of his future pilot with his iPhone. Now THAT's what I'm calling cool!!!!
