Boom Chicka Rock

This has been a fun week at the library! We've been making mice finger puppets as our craft during programming, then the kids have been "helping" me tell the story with their puppets. Today I got to help out with one of the teen programs and we did henna tattoos. That went over very well and we even tatooed some of the moms!

But the best part of the week has been the chicks. We've had chicken eggs in an incubator that we've been candling (holding over a light to see their development) and they were due to start hatching this past Monday. The first two busted out overnight and one hatched before our very eyes today. We have five more eggs waiting to hatch and we have six duck eggs due to hatch around July 15. The little ones are so cute and have been quite popular. Patrons have even been calling to see if they've hatched yet! I'll have pictures of them (and my crafts) in the next few days.
