Blue Vervain

Seventh week of the Summer Reading Program.  I missed the sixth week so had two patches to iron on.  Added a Stegosaurus and an Ankylosaurus to the existing T- Rex, Velociraptor, Troodon, Lambeosaurus, and Plesiosaur already on my shirt.  The two new ones went on each sleeve.  I thought it was fitting to put 'ARM'ored dinosaurs there.  (Yes, I know.  No one is going to notice my little joke.)  One more week of the Summer Reading Program to go.  My plan is to add the last patch on the back of my shirt near the neckline - should it be an Oviraptor or a Brachiosaurus?  Decisions, decisions.

The library wasn't overly busy tonight.  The Summer Reading Program activity for this week was finding 'dinosaur eggs' at the park.  I believe the eggs are similar to the plastic eggs kids hunt for at Easter except these have little dinosaur toys inside.   Some parents came in to the library forgetting about tonight's change of venue.   The kids spun the wheel, picked up more books, and took off for the park.  A lady who was answering a Facebook Marketplace ad was from out-of-town and early for her meeting.   She was just looking for a place to wait.  She checked out the books on sale and talked w/ the librarian until it was time for her meeting. Other people came to use a computer, play a game, do some research.  The reasons for visiting a library can be quite varied.
