It wouldn’t be a Reading Road Trip without a stop at the Decorah Public Library!
Why did no one tell me I was supposed to wear my Creature Power Suit from Wild Kratts?
A Creature Power Suit would definitely help keep wild animals from sneaking up on people in the dark.
And some extra creature detection would certainly make eating late-night S’mores much more enjoyable!
Now I know I’m moving up in the world! My afternoon story time at the Maynard Public Library was [...]
It is amazing that every year I’ve visited the Decorah Public Library the crowds just get bigger and bigger.
Someone in the audience had accidentally taken a parking spot reserved for “Mother Goose!”
This made her very unhappy and she sent some of her feathery friends to chase me out of the library.
I was able to escape just before another bird tried to carry me off! Luckily I had time to claim a fabulous thank-you gift!
Next, it was off to an [...]

I always feel like royalty when I visit the Decorah Public Library.

The Calmar Public Library also loves to be creative. They’re very good at painting eyeballs.
The three bears visited me at story time today…
And so did the six little ducks.
Finally, today I had story time at the Maynard Public Library: the library where I grew up!
I had a chance to dance with my mom…
And I had a chance to save the town from squids!
