Little Lost Sloth

Got a lucky spot and parked by the Main Carnegie Library in Oakland.

I was picking up some family members of my own.

And there was this little lost sloth stuffie lying on the sidewalk. Looking forlorn. Rain threatened.

My friend Vincie suggested I’d best turn it in at the library cause it would get wet and maybe a family was looking for a little lost sloth.

Someone was probably sad he got lost.

So I took him in to the library, turned him in and I hope he got reunited with his person.

It is a never failing spring in the desert.”

We love our library (ies) Thank you Andrew Carnegie

Crafton Public Library a Mini-Tour

Yesterday’s blogpost has been updated to show the Vixens of Halloween artwork. (Click link to see the pics)

And while I was there at the Crafton Public Library, I met Spike.

Spike the lizard looked content on his hammock, basking in the warmth of the light.

I went to the Carnegie Library Lawrenceville Branch today to return a book and get some knitting patterns printed. Everyone is always so helpful. They were gracious to give me this bright red bag to hold all my papers and books.

I do love my library.

Adventure Completed

We returned to Lawrenceville where we started our library adventure. It was the branch where we’d gotten our CLP Passports and our first stamp. Librarian Steve gave us the forms to fill out. He offered to stamp our passports but we already had the stamp. He stamped our notes pages with the extra large stamper though! A bonus stamp. He also emailed us the pdf brochures about each library branch we visited. Thank you.

What a fun time Jen and I had driving all over the city, collecting the stamps at the nineteen branches within the city limits. It was her idea to participate and I’m so glad she invited me along.
