I Just Know Spring Is Coming...

No matter what the weatherman says - it's going to be 28 degrees tonight and colder tomorrow - I just know Springtime is coming.
I saw evidence today on the way to work. There is a huge Japanese Magnolia blooming in someone's yard on Fifth Avenue. And a lovely quince bush blooming in the yard two houses from Tenth Street. Bright yellow blossoms of daffodils are popping up in the flower bed around the trees across the street from where I live. Also, the squirrels are acting like crazy! Isn't all that evidence that Springtime is coming?
That means things are going to be green. Well, here in Georgia, that means that things are going to be greener. And because of that, we are going to bring lots of green into the library.
Soon our glass cases in the foyer will be filled with green things...frogs and flowers and books and glassware and all kinds of green things. The display is going to be an interesting and fun thing to look at.
Our foyer table will be filled during March with green-cover books. Now, that to me is interesting in itself. You'd be surprised what kinds of books have green covers: David Rosenfelt's thriller Don't Tell a Soul, Eugenia Price's Lighthouse, Jacquelyn Mitchard's young adult book Now You See Her, Julia Otsuka's When the Emperor Was Divine, and the witty mystery by Ayelet Waldman Death Gets a Time-out. Of course, we can't forget the audio books like Proof Positive by Phillip Margolin and Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin...and more.
At the front desk we'll have books of Springtime stories and in the reading area books about gardening (it's time to plan!). And the table near the Children's Library will show all kinds of green books, such as Make Way for Ducklings, Seasons of a Red Fox, The Story Snail, and my favorite The Giving Tree.
I don't know about you, but I'm really ready for Spring! And lots of green!
Make your wait for Spring an enjoyable time...come to the library and see our green things! We're doing it all just for you.
