"Gotta love a kid who comes to the library like this. He asked if he could check out stuff, and I replied, Yes, if you have your library card, and he unzipped his jacket to show me this." 💕
Arcata Librarian Susan Parsons shared this great story about the field trip to the library this morning with Laurel Tree Charter School. What a perfect way to carry your library card! 😊

Saturday, May 2, we welcomed local art educator Marci Easterbrook to lead a Collective Book Making project in coordination with The Big Read collaboration with Arcata Playhouse and Humboldt County Library - Eureka Main Branch.
We read the poem "Redwoods" from the book You Are Here, edited by Ada Limon, learned how to create little Zines and worked on leaves and collage contributions for a big folding book that will visit several libraries before coming to live at Arcata Library. We'll be sure to share the finished book when Marci brings it to us!
