First Day of Autumn
The library celebrated the first day of Autumn 2017 in two ways.
First the adults made fall colored paint dot painting. It’s something we have done before with the senior group we use to have and they loved it. This group also seemed to have fun!
The kids came to the library after school was out and make puffy paint and painted pumpkin magnets. The kids really seemed to like this craft!
Up next? Halloween crafts in October…
First Day of Autumn
The library will be celebrating the first day of Autumn [Friday, September 22nd] on the First day of Autumn.

The Eclipse
Along with many, many people world wide the library celebrated the Eclipse on Monday, August 21st.
The library had around 20 people [not bad for our little library] show up. We celebrated with our version of “eclipse” food. Moon pies, Sun Chips, Crescent sandwiches, Best Sandwich Dip on Earth and much more, it was all wonderful.
Everyone received a pair of eclipse glasses to watch the big event. As the clouds came and went we took our glasses off and on. We did not have a “Total” eclipse here, but it was pretty close. As to time got near to the our Total Eclipse we sat outside in lawn chairs and looked up at the sky. Everyone had a great time!

2017 Eclipse
Most people have heard about the 2017 Eclipse coming on August 21st. The library will be having an “Eclipse” watch party. Richmond will only see a partial Eclipse but we can still enjoy it. The library will have Free Eclipse glasses available.
The plan is the have an Eclipse lunch. Everyone should bring something that they think will fit the theme [moon pie, sun chip, milky way bars] you get the idea.
For us it should start around 11:40 AM with the peak time being 1:08, when the moon will obscure 97.5% of the sun. We plan to meet at the library around 11:30.
Bring some food and come and join!
Idea’s for Eclipse food? We got those too!
Moon Pies, Sun Chips, Milky Way candy bars, Sunkist, Sunny Delight, Sun Maid Raisins, Sunflower Seeds, Eclipse gum, Starburst, Goldfish Space Adventures, Rocket Hot dogs [hots dogs wrapped in crescent roll, on a stick], Space Balls [balls of fruit], Crescent Moon Chicken Salad [chicken salad on a crescent roll].
I am sure there are more ideas out there, come and join us on August 21st and show us what food you came up with.
