Make a Splash!

We made one.  Some of us did so literally!  I think I went in the tank at least 20 times.  A big thank you to all our hard-working staff members.  The Hutchinson Public Library has the best staff in the world!  Also, a big thank you to the wonderful group of volunteers who helped make all the fun possible.

I hope that everyone who attended had a great time.  I saw a lot of smiles from my rather unstable perch in the dunk tank.  A special thanks to Chris Orwoll from the Kansas Cosmosphere for coming over and helping us out - he's a good sport!

I didn't get to see much of what went on today outside my little cage, but photos are coming in so I thought I'd put a few up here.  I'll post more of them as they become available.  (Thank you Michelle for this batch of pictures!)

This is the Overdrive Digital Bookmobile.  They rolled in and demonstrated all the cool things you can download from their service.  HPL subscribes to OverDrive - all you need is a library card and you can download audiobooks to your heart's content!

I have no idea what is going on here, except it looks like fun!

Hutchinson Fire Department rocks!  They brought the big ladder truck.  I love the ladder truck.
