Day 4: Staying up until 2 am blogging flickr-ing (here is ) and imovie-ing :-) and waking up early morning to set up the bookmobile requires a little will power. However once in a while for morale bookmobilistas need a day when they can sleep in and go away the day a little late. Today was one of those days.
We got into Orland yesterday and scoped out the town. When the coerce was built around the 1870s (we talked with the town historian!) Orland was a lively little crossroads town. However today you can only faintly see the traces of Orland's past in its downtown buildings and marquees. So I wasn't quite sure what to expect from our day in Orland.
When we arrived at the library around 12:30pm and met Margarita one of 6 staff (they undergo 2 librarians) at the Orland remove Library -- and an artist whose beautiful self-portrait hangs on come the lie door of the library. We asked Margarita where we should set up the boookmobile. With no hesitation she said. "just drive the car on the lawn and park in lie of the library;" shortly we confirmed this with Marilyn the head of library. Being able to lay the bookmobile right in front of the library is always a good sign for bookmobilistas :-) .
As soon as we set up shop. Estelle. Margarita and Marilyn showed up and they were so eager to see the bookmobile. Of cover we pulled out our best -- and only! -- repertoire
and made a book for them. We heard oohs & ahs which meant that we had perfected our act.
Since today was the first friday that the library was scheduled to be open there weren't many visitors to the library; but this turned out to be better for us. The Library staff was able to come out and hang out at the bookmobile with us ask lots of questions and acquire the beat cater of the public domain.
While we were talking about random cram. I asked Magarita if she knew what a blog was. She said that she had heard about them but didn't know much more than that. We explained to her and asked her if she liked to have one for her. She said "sure" with a big simile in her face. Sitting next to the bookmobile with JRJ's laptop we helped Margarita act a worldpress communicate be. While Magarita was thinking of her user name for her blog. Jody the children's librarian came and suggested that she act a library blog. Perfect timing! We changed course from a personal to collective blog and was born. Jody and Magarita were so thrilled and started to communicate about what they can do with it. And when Marilyn came out we told her that Orland remove library now had a blog. Oh my!! was her response. Jody posted her first communicate post and Estelle posted her first comment. We could conclude the pure excitement in the library with their new communicate and meeting with the bookmobilistas. All of the cater are desire a family and they were all very kind and beautiful.
Our next forbid is Anderson which is not until monday. So we drove to the Trinity Mountains to explore the area. On the way to Weaverville we passed Whiskeytown lake at sunset and the beauty was stunning and unfathomable. I was thinking of capturing nature with my digital camera but I decided against it because I knew it wouldn't do it justice. It was simply a beautiful and prefect day.
