Do you know what tomorrow is?!

Friday April 18th is National Laundromat Day. In honor of this special day we have a quiz for all teen patrons that could win them prizes. Knowing random facts about laundromats and laundry could actually get you a book and a gift certificate.

So if you want to play, it is easy. Come to the teen reference desk outside of the teen room and ask for a laundromat quiz. Then fill out the quiz and give it back to the librarian.

On Monday all scores will be tallied and the person with the highest score wins. If there is more then one highest score the top scorers will be entered in a drawing. The winner will be called Monday afternoon.

Now start studying your laundramat facts!

Do you know what day it is?!

It is Northern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day! On this winter day, people go out at noon, wave their hands over their heads and chant "Hoodie-Hoo".

It is a day to chase away winter and bring in spring. After all, everyone in the northern hemisphere is sick and tired of winter at this point, and a little crazy from being cooped up inside all winter and seeing little sun. I know I will be doing my Hoodie-Hoo chant today!

P.S. Hoodie-Hoo Day is actually a copyrighted holiday and brought to us by the lovely people at wellcat.com

Here's what I am reading, how about you?!

I am just finishing up Daniel Water's Generation Dead. This book is an exciting, delightful, and wonderfully crafted book. Water's has a fabulous sense of popular culture and trivia, as well as the ability to meld reality and fantasy. How do you not love a book that refers to zombies as "living impaired"?! This book brings together creepy, high school, and romance... isn't that basicly everyones school experience?! Read it! It's AWESOME!

Now tell me what you are reading!
