The Carnival is in Town!

The final day of this week’s Reading Road Trip adventure started at the Waterloo Public Library.

I was honored to have an official IPTV Kids Clubhouse member attend the show!

After the performance, I hopped aboard an alien spaceship to fly to my next destination!

On the way, I flew a little too close to a cow jumping over the moon and my ship was damaged!

I was forced to crash the spacehip into the Jesup Public Library and, because of the damage, we [...]

After-Hours Tubing!

This morning, at the Waterloo Public Library, we prepared for the masses by providing special stroller parking.

There was a small army in attendance for story time, and you know what that means! I had the pleasure of giving out countless high-fives!

I was surprised that a giant space tuna popped in to watch for a little bit.

It turns out he wasn’t actually there for story time. Instead, he was hunting for some bugs for lunch!

In the afternoon, I discovered that the [...]

Rock Star!

Today I felt like a ROCK STAR!

Maybe it was because I had lots of help setting up story time at the Waterloo Public Library…

Maybe it was because I was given a free ride to the Cedar Rapids Public Library…

Maybe it was because we needed to keep the crowds back with gates…

And I do mean CROWDS!

And long lines, too!

I was even given a flower today by one of my biggest fans.

But we all know who the true rock star is: Your [...]
