Adam Johnson Anthony Geffen Sasha De Sola Sarah Sentilles “Most of all, I remember smiling, laughing, happy people everywhere I looked, on every day the Bloom truck went out.” ~ Jett Carruth, Children’s Library summer intern “While I was working at The Community Library I learned about interacting with people. Before I was really shy. Now I’m able to talk to people without feeling uncomfortable.” ~ Lupe Hurtado, Children’s Library summer intern, pictured here with fellow interns Lily Pogue and Gracie Gibson Dear Friends, When the Spruce Street entrance closed for three months last year, we invited everyone to enter through the Children’s Library, and then we watched as adults slowed their pace to catch a few lines from Story Time before they made their way into the Main Library. When a plywood tunnel popped up during the renovation of the East Collection, we put out markers and invited literary graffiti. Within a few days, rainbows of book recommendations arced across the walls. When the Regional History floor was stripped to its plywood foundation three months ago, we drew a giant map of the Wood River Valley on it and asked people to add their own landmarks, and the map blossomed with favorite lakes and mountains and neighborhoods. Each phase of the Renew Your Library! Renovation Project presented an opportunity for new points of connection. Because this is what the Library does: It invites participation in a world of ideas. As we complete this historic renovation project, one poem keeps echoing in A family teamed together for literary trivia during LitHop 2018. my mind, “Invitation” by Shel Silverstein: If you are a dreamer, come in, If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer. If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in! Thank you for helping us open doors – through books, through educational programs, and through serendipitous moments of connection. At the Library, everyone’s invited. Sincerely, Kids celebrated The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s 50th birthday in June.
