9 January 2008

My second-favorite spot in my library is this part of the children's
area. Again, lots of windows and comfy seating make it a very inviting
area. And notice the mural, painted many years ago by a former staff
member.

When I give tours to elementary school classes, we always start in
this area. I tell them to keep an eye out for elephants during the
tour. When we return at the end, they are quick to point out that they
didn't see any elephants. My answer: "Turn around. Do you see the
elephant now?" And there's Babar, staring them in the face!
