Let's see, what's been happening in my life lately?
Well, I recently went to Washington, D.C., for my cousin's wedding reception. I got to hang with lots of family on my dad's side and I visited the Library of Congress with an old roommate. We saw the amazing reading room and did some fun little learning activities around the exhibits. Very nerdy stuff. Perfect for me. Thank you so much, Maya, for taking me!
The town where I work is having a town celebration this weekend and guess what? I'm going to ride on a float in the parade. The Friends of the Library built this apparently awesome float with a giant book on it. I have no idea what it looks like, but the Friends have assured me that it is amazing. I guess I will see on it on Saturday morning.
Marie, one of the Friends, tells me that throwing things from the float is explicitly forbidden. Darn. I was going to suggest that I toss books at the parade-viewers. I really need to weed out the reference section.
From what I hear, this town really knows how to throw a parade. Years ago, when the local high school was still in town, people would line the streets for the homecoming parade. It was a big deal. In my head, I imagine tractors. Giant tractors. Like this.
Also, in random news, my library is adopting a sea turtle!

We felt sad that we moved away from DC so close before the wedding. we would have liked to have gone to the reception.
