Time and Repetition

How are we all doing today? As usual, my week has been pretty busy, but I’m having way too much fun working with the young adults and the younger kiddos at the library.

Time and repetition are funny things to me. You start your work day, and you have a list of things that need to get done. Then you end your work day, and you still have things on that list that didn’t get done. Time seems to fly faster the more of it you need. Doing things over and over again, such as a blog post, are also interesting. You get it done one week, and then before you know it, you have another one that needs to get done because a week has already passed. Sometimes those time pass you right by and you miss a blog post. Crazy stuff.

As I’m writing this blog post, our office is a little bit of a mess. Space is a precious commodity because we have so many materials and programs to keep track of, so we are getting some new shelving for our office. Even though it is only a few shelves, it will be a big help to us. Thanks to our director, John Hartung, for getting those up for us.

Also as I’m writing this, there have been a few changes to our summer programs. As I mentioned in my last blog post, we have been partnering with Lightning Comics over the summer. Whilce Portacio, one of the illustrators for none other than Marvel Comics, is flying over from Seattle during the second weekend in August. While he is in the area, he will be signing books at Lightning Comics, and doing a program for us at the Hayden Library. Should be pretty awesome.

The second change to our summer programs is moving the date of our Karaoke event. It was originally scheduled for the 16th of August, but that puts it awfully close to the Whilce Portacio visit. To make it easier to catch both programs, we are moving the Karaoke program to July 27th from 5:00 to 8:00pm. Todd Alexander, a local Karaoke Jockey, will still be coming over for the event.

Well that is all August stuff, so let’s talk about July stuff. We are having our monthly Rock the Boat program for the 14 to 18 year old group this Monday from 6 to 7pm. We’re calling it ReMix it Up, and we’ll be making some movies using our Flip camera and Windows Movie Maker. We are also having our Last Friday program on well the last Friday, which is the 30th of July. It is going to be a free concert with the Coeur d’ Alene Rock School. The concert is going to start at 7pm and go until 9pm. This program was originally going to be for only our 14 to 18 group, but people from every age group are interested in it, so we are opening it up to all ages.

Well here’s to another week of fun in the sun!
