Today, six fellow superheroes beckoned me to the Carroll Public Library!

A large crowd had randomly shown up to their building and they needed someone to entertain them!

Of course, while I had the attention of the audience, I convinced them to sign up for summer reading. And, in Carroll, summer reading means awesome sticker rewards!

With the emergency taken care of, I had to consult my sticky notes to remind me who I was supposed to visit next!

It turns out the Audubon [...]

There are few libraries in Iowa that love trains more than the Ericson Public Library in Boone!

What I didn’t realize was that they also really love dinosaurs!

Wait a second! They love dinosaurs and they also love trains? When I asked if anyone loves Dinosaur Train, lots of hands went up!

And speaking of dinosaurs, a brontosaurus accidentally stepped on my friend’s foot. She didn’t hold a grudge though. If you’re going to visit the doctor for a broken foot, you might [...]

My second stop today was at the Opera [...]

Much later, at the Olin Public Library, I shared with the audience [...]

This morning’s story time was so close to the river that I almost went fishing before my performance!

However, I don’t think the crowd at the Clinton Public Library would have appreciated it if I showed up smelling like fish!

And, I’m pretty sure the librarians would have put me in the doghouse if I tracked fish slime into their building!

Clifford and Emily Elizabeth would still have loved me though! They never get mad at anyone!

Later, at the Davenport Public Library, everyone [...]
