The Weekly Rabbit Report for March 29-April 1

OMG, I'm so sorry I'm a day late with this! I had an exciting day yesterday because my Auntie Joyce is back! She's not been feeling too well lately, but she's slowly coming back around and came to see me yesterday. I hope she's able to come back and see me soon because I have missed her!

Now, down to business. I realize that this week is something called "Spring Break" and this means that a lot of people are out of town. But I hope some of you are still able to come a library program this week!

On Wednesday, March 30, my mommies and aunties are going on the road. Ms. Bobbi and Ms. Alyssa will be at Monrovia to perform two puppet shows! You can see "Piggy-Rae-Ella" and "The Dog Who Forgot" at 10am and 2pm! Ms. Janice will be at Waverly at 4pm for Mardi Gras Scratch Art. She suggests wearing old clothes to the program, just in case.

Thursday, March 31, is Puppet Show day at the Main library! Ms. Bobbi and Ms. Alyssa will perform at 10:30am and 2:30pm. Cassie also has a special Japanese Fest planned for the teens at 3pm. Perhaps I can teach the teens how to make an origami rabbit....

Friday will bring Toddler Time with Ms. Linda at 10:30am. She'll be reading stories about butterflies. Ms. Alyssa will have our final Mardi Gras event at 2:30pm with her Hat Making Program. And lest we forget, Friday means Sit With the Bunny at 4:00pm!!!

Come see me this week!

Love and carrots,
Morgan

The Weekly Rabbit Report for March 21-March 25

Hello again friends! We've got another great week of programs planned for you. Want to see?

Storytime this week will be all about Garden Critters! Come check it out on Thursday at 10:30am or 2:30 pm.

Cassie and the teens have Poetry Open Mic on Thursday at 3pm. I'm working very hard on a piece I'd like to present.

Speaking of Thursday, we have a very special program at 7pm! We are pleased to bring you a performance by Traveler's Dream. This concert is rescheduled from earlier this year. Come out and listen to Irish jigs and reels, sea shanties, and traditional American songs!

We'll also be traveling to our Waverly branch this week for two more Mardi Gras programs. On Tuesday at 4pm, we'll be making noisemakers and we'll be back out at 4pm on Thursday to make hats!

Don't forget about Baby Time on Friday at 10:30am. Miss Alyssa has selected stories all about her favorite color, red! I may see if I have something red to wear for the program.

And last, but certainly not least, we have not one but two concerts on Saturday! The Naptown 5 Jazz Band will be performing at both our Waverly and Main branches. They will be at Waverly at 1pm and will travel down to Main for a 4pm performance. Bring the whole family out to enjoy an afternoon of jazz! This program is possible through a grant form the Community Foundation of Morgan County.

Doesn't everything look fabulous? I'm going to try my best to go to everything!

Stay tuned for next week. It's Spring Break and we have lots of special things planned for you....

Love and carrots,
Morgan

Éirinn go Brách!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Do you know what today's title means? It's Gaelic (a language spoken by some mostly on the west coast of Ireland) for "Ireland Forever!"

My library mommies look so festive in all their green. Even Mr. Chuck stopped by in his lovely green shirt!

I even sported a little green myself! That happens sometimes after I eat lettuce (I forget to wipe my mouth....).

Love and carrots,
Morgan

Business Cards

I have discovered that my friend, Cauli Le Chat, is in the process of getting her own business cards.

I should have business cards. I am, after all, the library's main attraction and public relations expert.

I must speak to the library mommies about this....

Love and carrots,

Finally, Teen Tech Week will wrap up on Saturday with an all ages Robotics Demonstration from the Mecha Hampsters at 12pm and a special teen laptop lab from 2-5pm.

Wow, that was a lot to report!

The Weekly Rabbit Report for February 28-March 4

I've decided to start something new! Every week, I'm going to give you a report of some of the things happening at the library. Most of the things I have to share will be activities in the Children's Department but I'll share some things going on in other parts of the library too.


Thursday, March 3rd is Preschool Storytime! Ms. Linda will have her "Get Your Garden Growing" program at 10:30am and 2:30pm.

Friday, March 4th is a busy day for us. Ms. Joyce has Baby Time for my youngest friends at 10:30am. Then, at 4:00pm (the most important time of the week), she hosts Sit With the Bunny!!!

The other big news at the library this week is Overdrive! The Morgan County Public Library is now a part of Overdrive, an online consortium that allows our patrons access to downloadable e-Books and audiobooks. Now you can download these items to your computer and then transfer them to your e-Reader, MP3 player, or other mobile device. On Thursday, March 3rd, we will have an overview of how to use Overdrive at 7pm. Information about Overdrive is available on our website.

Love and carrots,
Morgan

P.S. I've had another photo shoot and hope to share the pictures with you soon!
