Nearly an entire month without a post - shame on me! I use this blog to get crazy ideas out of my head, mull, blather on, etc. Lately though, it seems like I haven't even had time to type for 15 minutes. My excuse is that we have had a tremendous amount of projects going at the Hutchinson Public Library, the main one for me being the
Prairie Book Festival which happened this past Saturday. This was the inaugural PBF and we hope there will be more to come. The Hutchinson News had a
nice write-up for us on Sunday.
We had a good crowd for a first-time event, despite this:

| A nice line of windy, hail-making storms! |
The storms arrived around 2:45-3pm and closed down our vendor area a little early, but we moved the remaining authors inside, relocated the storyteller to the storytime room, moved the music into the circulation area and carried right on to the end.
I truly appreciate all of our hard-working staff, volunteers, our great Friends of the Library group, and especially our Prairie Book Festival steering committee - many members of which fall in more than one of the groups mentioned! They did a fantastic job and produced something great upon which we can build.
Here are a few of the photos taken throughout the day:
