Speaking Volumes

Last week I went to Yahoo to check my email and Yahoo was running a slideshow of the ‘Most Startling Photos of 2010.’ Some of you may have seen this for yourselves, but for those who didn’t the slideshow consisted of pictures of the largest statue of Jesus (built in Poland this year), a 30 pound goldfish, the Perseid meteor shower, and a killer whale crashing into a yacht, just to name a few:

       

     

Well this slideshow on Yahoo was almost perfect timing for me since I took the ‘most startling’ photo at the Saxton B. just last week too. Is it startling? Um, I was startled.. Hilarious? Check. Here it is:

        

Hahaha! I am laughing just thinking about it. It’s Carol in her ‘michealn man’ suit. An oversized insulated snowsuit. I guess I owe you an explanation. Our heaters were misbehaving last week and we had a few days of frigid cold in the office. So Carol thought she would surprise us by wearing this suit to work on Thursday. So funny!
 
We have lots of great pictures from the past year of events, programs, books clubs, and summer fun. Unfortunately I don’t have personal permission from people to post many of them here, but I do have few good ones for you too take a look at:

Fake mustaches at a book club meeting and a little promo picture for our adopt-an-author program:
        

Monster Cookies from our Monster Mash Party, and the cake from our 25th Anniversary celebration:

    

Mo the therapy dog visits the library and Author Jason Deeble comes to the Saxton B!:

   

2010 was a great year at the Saxton B. and I am already looking forward to 2011. Happy New Year everyone!
