Hopping around.

I hopped into the Robinson Twp. Library this week. They forgot the red carpet but being the regal frog I am, I didn't say anything. I had the best view and saw first hand the diverse interest of the patrons and what books or videos they enjoyed.

It was great to see all the patronage and I did a little promoting while I was there.
Sadly I discovered that pieces of
paper lying on the table even with signs pointing at them are 90% of the time overlooked. In the end my blogger had to get involved. . .(she was a little reluctant at first (shy) but when I hinted there might be a treat at lunch time ... and mention I had brought my best jar of flys she got a little more involved)
(Note from Jem; I enjoyed helping out but kindly declined Frogs offer to share lunch.) :X

I also received a few recommendations from the Librarians

The Director Recommended
"In Sunlight in a Beautiful Garden" by Kathleen Cambor
A story about the Johnstown flood. Detailing events (foolish and ignorant) that lead up to its assurance.
She commented that: it was kind of tough sledding in the beginning but I really enjoyed it in the end."

Circulation clerk K said for a good Christmas book (it is the season) Glenn Beck's "The Christmas Sweater"
Her comment; It's excellent!

and
Cataloger M (a.k.a. mystery lady in the back room)
recommended "The youngest Templar series." Her only warning is to watch out for the killer cliff hanger at the end of the first book.

I enjoyed my visit I think I will try hopping to another library.

It already the holiday season! Hmmm home made fly pie.

Not in my job description

What with budget cuts for libraries and co-workers being sick I volunteered to take on some extra work.
I was ready to dive right in until they asked me to help with shelving. . .

who's idea was it to put the atlas on the top shelf?. . .Who checks out an atlas?!


Next, I jumped onto a computer... Literally.


I found my true calling when I hopped on the bookmobile to help out.


oops. Quick somebody turn me around!!

. . .Don't worry Chuck, I'm pretty sure that lady's Prius was supposed to look like that.
((What'do you mean that was a Suburban??))

Frog.
I wonder how many flies I'll get for overtime?

Fly drive

A good Read
I was hopping through the shelves the other day and I bumped into this book.
"Frog Went A-Courtin"
By John Langstaff

The verse was sweet and simple, the hero dashing and damp.
(Hey! Damp is stylish for a frog).
For a quick read I would highly recommend you leap into this book.



also,

Not to long ago I held a drive to help those less fortunate.

All my co-workers pitched in and the response was surprisingly good.

tasty too.
Frog.

Hello, I am Frog.

I work at a bookmobile. I don’t work on the bus but at the bookmobile center (where the books are kept.) My job is pretty straight forward. I keep the fly population down. I have a P.H.D. (Perfectly Healthy Diet) and A.E.R. (Amphibians Eat Right) in Fly catching. People don’t understand the intricacies involved in how hard I work. I have on occasion heard things like “There are no flys in here.” and “What does that lazy frog do anyway?” I am sadly underappreciated. . .But well fed.
Frog.
