Book Fair Hangover

Yesterday and today the Children's Book Fair and Literary Festival took place at the library. It has been quite possibly the longest and most rewarding 2 days of my life. I'm exhausted beyond measure...even my hair is tired! But yesterday I got to 'hi-five' about 500 kids and welcome about 3000 more. For some is was their first trip to the library and a magical experience, they visited with authors and had ice cream. The only snafu was the rain but overall it all worked out.

Today we had the festival part of the program with another 1500 or so in attendance. Thanks to all the volunteers we had today it went beautifully. Now I can collapse .... at least until I have to be at Bookmarks tomorrow. Tuesday can not get here fast enough for me! I may just sleep all day long.

Sounds like it was awesome! Definitely take some time for yourself and relax now. I know that's hard for you to do, but you deserve it. Loved the pics of Joanna and the girls in the big D!
