Today marked the final day of the 2012 Reading Road Trip! It was the final day to save five little aliens!

It was the final day of making adults stand up and sing.

It was the final day of performing at libraries, big and small.

With such a packed morning and afternoon, I knew I needed to stay hydrated! I definitely need a bigger straw!

The crowds at the Coralville Public Library helped me kick off the day.

I wish it could have lasted longer, [...]

I’ve always wondered where the awesome fountain at the Coralville Public Library might lead.

A cool watery portal like that could lead me anywhere on the planet.

I wonder if it would lead me across the world to the Egyptian pyramids?

Too bad I’ll never find out. There was a merman with a pet shark blocking my way. Oh well, next year I’ll bring shark repellant.

I had to take a bike to my next stop at the Hiawatha Public Library. When I got [...]

The Coralville Public Library set a record for themselves this morning! Their crowds were bigger than at any other time that I’ve visited.

Luckily, I do love outside story time in the warm summer weather.

The sun’s awesome powers [...]

With Festival over, that means it is time for me to start visiting libraries again! I’ve already visited the Sioux Center Public Library.

And the Hospers Public Library!

You never know who I might meet on my trip.  I might meet triplets.

I might meet human frogs.

I might even meet fellow super [...]

I love the Iowa City Public Library.  It’s filled with such amazing characters.

I always know I can find a game of pick up basketball there!

But always watch out for the occasional stuffed animal stampede.

Later, at the Coralville Public Library I received an incoming transmission.  Wait, those headsets didn’t work!

Ah, yes, these headsets worked much better.  Transmission received.

Wow, what an honor. Coralville made Dan Wardell sculptures out of diamond.  Or maybe they were made out of packing tape.  I can’t really remember [...]
