Cool models for our library

You may have noticed some mini buildings popping up in the nonfiction area of the library.  Holly and Eli Grant's dad, Simon, who owns PaperPlus in Merivale, has donated these very cool models to our library.
There are models of space rockets, ships and famous buildings.  Come in and check them out!

Spiders in the library!

We have some new visitors in the library for the next couple of weeks - spiders.  Lots of kids have been asking me if these are real and the answer is no.  They were living once upon a time but now they are forever stuck in the same position inside a glass case for you to stare at.

The spiders come from Science Alive, the same place we got the rocks and crystals from.  I'll be changing the cases every couple of weeks so that there is always something interesting to look at.  There are lots of different topics to choose, from birds to the human body, so if you've got a topic that you're really interested in just let me know and I'll see what I can get.
