Decorating YA room windows

Come on in and help us beautify the Young Adult room windows. We have a variety of colored window markers and a bunch of wonderful glass "canvases" to show your stuff on. We would like the illustrations to reflect the season and/or the upcoming events in the Young Adult section--but we are pretty flexible in determining what exactly relates to those broad ideas. We're aiming to have most of the work done during the first full week of each month starting in July, but the first few illustrations are already up and we're doing others through the end of May. Come on, show us your stuff--your visual dreams, your giant doodles, your graphic mind games. Talk to the Young Adult librarians to get the markers and other directions.

With the Kids, We're All Right

We participated in the Missoula Downtown Association's annual display window contest and took first place in the Children's Choice category! They dropped off a delicious plate of Bernice's Bakery cookies, which are already all but gone. Special thanks go to Molly and Laura (aka Word Woman) for coming up with the idea and making that idea a reality.

Here's an admittedly bad picture of the display. It almost looks like the sun is shining brightly on the snowmen, but don't worry, they'll be around for a while yet. And maybe this weekend we'll get some real snow so these won't be the only snowmen downtown.
