SUMMER IS HERE! The NYPL blogs are basking in the sunshine of information.

• This month we rallied with our friends and ultimately got most of our funding restored. Thank you for your letters (and hugs) of support.
• We ventured up north and back down to the Big Easy (with a lot of other librarians from around the country!)
• We met a painter and a photographer.
• We kicked off summerreading.org and picked out a few reads for our trip to the beach; in addition to a LOL-worthy book, we packed some unusual snacks, a coloring sheet, a tiny kite and our avatar into a stylish tote bag.
• After that outing we prepared for some sci fi TV time. With a side of cheesy movie.
• We stopped by the Library's crowdsourcing buffet for a few additional helpings.
• We looked deep within ourselves, even the language we speak, to find answers to life's questions.
• This month we felt pride for the state we live in.
• And because we read NYPL blogs every day... we got on top of the holds list.
