If you missed the presentations by Chasing4Life's Eddy Weiss this past Wednesday you missed a storm.  Eddy, the founder of Chasing4Life and an experienced researcher, storm chaser, and emergency care specialist, wowed the audiences with his high energy, exciting stories, and hard-hitting message to stay safe in severe weather.  He proved quite versatile in adapting his presentation to teens, children, and families throughout three presentations at the WPL (Eddy had also been in Wellman and Kalona earlier in the day).  Eddy told many stories about the storms he had been involved with and described the changes in the weather leading to an increase in severe weather both numerically and geographically.  His focus was staying safe during severe weather by taking cover.  Eddy repeatedly mentioned the fact that there is no place where storms, tornados, hail, etc. do not happen.  Most injuries and fatalities are to people who remain outside to watch tornados and take pictures.  We hope to have Chasing4Life back in the future to enthrall and encourage us

Holidays can create interesting choices at the library since they do not have the same meaning for every person.  And there are always holidays which are only observed by certain people groups.  Easter seems to be more widely celebrated than most, at least in regards to Wal-Mart and other stores who gear up huge marketing campaigns.

What does Easter mean to you and how can we best provide Easter materials at your library?
