#hellothursday
1. Dreams tend to stick with me. I even remember dreams from when I was a kid. (I once had a dream entirely in black & purple 🖤💜— & I often used to dream of crocodiles.)
2. Moxie‘s an independent lady. But in my dream-world, I‘d adopt her a girlfriend: a white bun with ruby eyes named Anyanka.🐇
3. How bout an author BFF? 😉 Maggie Stiefvater. And her goats.
4. PEI/Green Gables
5. Always. It‘s basically my job. #childrenslibrarian

Mime Order | Samantha Shannon

Today I watched a mime pretend to snort and shoot up onstage. Seriously. WTF? There were kids in the audience.

Every two years Salem Public Library puts on a Performer‘s Showcase: 60+ performers, 5 minutes each, and public librarians show up in droves to choose performers for the upcoming year. Every year there‘s at least one performance that leaves you, well, surprised, and not in a good way.

But mostly it‘s awesome!

Louise Looks like a scary mime, too! 6y

Prairiegirl_reading Kinda looks like Beetlejuice....😕 6y

tournevis Except kids know about this already. My kid asked me about this last year second grade. And we live in a confortable suburb. What better environment than a safe library to make them think about it? 6y

BookInMyHands @tournevis The kids in the audience were preschoolers (there were only about 5 of them), and mostly it was just startling to see this among performances geared for kids. Talking about it in a safe environment is one thing, and yes those are conversations that need to happen with grade schoolers. Watching a mime dramatize it is quite another. 6y
