It seems like summer finally decided to make an appearance. After filing multiple missing reports and sending out the search party, summer showed. A little cooler than before and long overdue, but I know that we at the library are willing to forgive some fashionable lateness in exchange for warm sunny days (and some party dip). However, at the risk of sounding pessimistic, summer has no sooner arrived than we're already talking about the dreaded (for students and teachers alike) back-to-school. It isn't all bad though? The upshot of back to school is back to school supplies! Who doesn't like a new pack of crayons, still smooth and unbroken, shiny as a freshly waxed car. Even those of us who are adults get into the spirit; after all, we were all students once, right? The very word "August" inspires visions of Trapper Keepers, and don't get us started on that "new pencil eraser" smell.
Since we're on the topic of school supplies, it bears mentioning that we are a drop off point for the Worth Township School Supply Drive. Returning to the classroom in the fall is a lot easier with some new notebooks and pens, and there are a lot of people who need some help providing these materials for their children. If you can, please donate. Even if it is just a new binder or a set of colored pencils, any contribution helps. Just think about how excited you were going to school on that first day, a backpack heavy, not only with school supplies, but with promise.
