#LibraryOfThings ideas, & the mud pit seems like the killer attraction for kids. My kid suggested I set up a camera trap lest raccoons that recently found an outdoor stash of old Halloween candy return (& also noted this proof of their presence impacts her dream of keeping chickens.) Available here?
Tents, night-vision goggles, bear tracking kits – and even books: America’s first nature library opens
As well as books, the new facility in Colorado offers hundreds of kits to connect people with the natural world. We asked five of the first visitors what they thought of it

Library Cards, You can have more than one, ask your librarian how, and why. 📚 #Booksky #LibraryLife #LibraryCard #SignUpNow Excercise #YourRight2Read #FreePrograms #LibraryofThings #Passes #Tickets #Volunteer #BooksbyMail
A library card for every child is as relevant now as it was in 1987. Let's continue to connect kids with library resources. Get your library card today!

#BookSky #LibraryCardSignUpMonth #GetYourLibraryCard #SupportYourLibrary #RightToReadOhio
#LibraryCardSignUpMonth started in 1987 as a response to then Secretary of Education, William Bennett, who stated: “Let’s have a campaign … Every child should obtain a library card and use it.” ALA took Bennett’s words seriously and responded: “We accept your challenge.”

We have a DVD player out from the #LibraryOfThings atm, & it works well—better than a combo VCR/DVD console I fished out of the garage months ago. We used it to watch BEETLEJUICE—also checked out from the library—which I liked much better than I had as a teenager, & finished in 3 sessions w/ my kid.

Now thinking #FlipperZero is too expensive for me or the #LibraryOfThings, but maybe a Geiger counter could do the same job and have more of a place as an item to be loaned to the community… and some of these seem to be affordable, without knowing if they'd do the job I want them to do… will pitch.

Community hubs are reimagining empty spaces as places to repair, share, learn and build a sense of belonging. When people come together to create, fix and collaborate, they turn local spaces into living, thriving neighbourhoods.
