That’s right: every week we are going to celebrate some small holiday! We want you to join us in celebrating every week – because really, everyone needs a little more happiness in their lives.
Join us in celebrating the holiday just yourself, and take some small quiet time to enjoy it. Or, take our book and program ideas, and celebrate in a larger way in your library. Take a small, goofy opportunity to have a little more fun today! (We celebrate you in doing this!)
Turtles are so adorable! I’m not a reptile person for the most part, but I’ve always liked turtles. Of course, if you have a real turtle you need to make a lot of long-term plans for it because they live so long. So, be thoughtful of that before you get a library turtle as a pet. But, plastic turtles are so fun to play with – and they make great toys for racing in moving water. Try it! Turtles are surprisingly easy to draw, even for art failures like me. And, of course, our local Lake Maria State Park is doing a lot of conservation work for the endangered Blandings Turtle. You could visit, or just admire their virtual tour.
