Poem in Your Pocket Day

4/24/2013

Poem in your pocket day is one of my favorite holidays!  It's easy to celebrate--just keep a poem in your pocket and share it with others.  National poem in your pocket day fell during our spring break, so we're celebrating it at MCDS this Friday, April 26th.  Throughout the day ask people if they have a poem in their pocket to share and share your own.  Send people to the LRC where we will have a variety of pocket-sized poems available for those who would like to participate.  
For more information on Poem in Your Pocket day, visit http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/406

For inspiration on how to celebrate the day, watch the Poem in Your Pocket Day Caper video below:

March Infographic

Picture
March was a busy month with 2,231 circulations.  The kindergarteners in Sequoia checked out the most books of any class.  Tintin and Garfield are very popular at the moment and placed in both the top searches on Destiny Quest and the most checked out titles category.  It was a good month for communication with 5 blog posts and 25 tweets as we followed the Battle of the Kids' Books.  

Dragon Room Mural by Zio Ziegler

4/4/2013

 
Last week, MCDS alum Zio Ziegler painted a mural in the Dragon Room.  Those of us lucky enough to witness Zio at work were amazed by his skill and watched, fascinated, through the windows.  For everyone who didn't get a chance to see Zio at work and everyone who would like to watch it again, Kevin Schoenbohm made this video capturing the process.  Enjoy!
