We had an awesome time and it was very cool to see the reasoning behind their choices on how they created and edited their images. There were some very awesome photos and I'm glad I wasn't a judge because it would have been extremely difficult to find a winner.
Here is winner for the 1st place and the Ten Items Viewers Choice awards for the 16-18 year range.

What are your plans to have fun outside while you still can, before the heat gets so disgusting that you need to hibernate again before fall?
Yes. I'm sure I know. Hide in a dark room with your tablet. Well, at least that's what my kids would say. I hope that some of you would say that you would like to go outside and ride your bike, or chase after people, or go roller skating, or start jogging.
Yup. Start jogging. That's what I told myself I would do. Run.
I'm not the quickest and I just started again yesterday after my year long hiatus due to having brain surgery (apparently they don't want your recovering brain to wiggle and jiggle). I actually did used to jog quite a bit. I did quite a few 5ks and I even did one 1/2 marathon with my sister! I was never the fastest and I was exhausted, but I did it and I occasionally did feel great afterwards.
So I'm hopping that I can start over again and feel great doing it. It is so easy to forget how important it is to move and stretch an do things that may not feel wonderful at first, but your body will thank you afterwards. When you're an old thirty year old, your body will say thank you!

So onto the nitty gritty of why I am posting this:

1. I hope that this will encourage me to jog tonight.
2. We have an awesome program planned for Thursday at 10am.

Get Moving at the Library!
For children of all ages. Come out and get moving with us through dancing and exercise! Registration is required and begins April 6.

We'll do some crazy stuff that will get you sweating like you've been in the rain! A little downward facing dog, a little jumping, a little dancing around. Ms Jill and I will have you rosy cheeked (and hopefully ready for a nap) by the time you leave.

OMG. I am so bad

My blog is one of those ones that you don't read because the person is too "lazy" or distracted to write a new post. Well, I am probably a little of both, but I hope I'm more distracted and busy coming up with new programs to entertain everyone with and that is the reason I don't have time to post.

So for those of you that actually read the blog (probably just me as I type) the Friends of the Library are buying us a 3d printer! We have been wanting one for quite a while, but you have to do lots of research in order to get one. When you're going to be having a lot of awesome people using it, you want it to be good! ... and I am positive we are going to have lots of awesome people using it!

Onto the really awesome stuff. So we want you guys to create pieces of art. Yes, you can copy other people's work, but we want you to bring out your artistic abilities!
So here it is! We need you to use an online software that is called Tinkercad.

How it works:
1. Place: Shapes are basic building blocks of Tinkercad. A shape can add or remove material. Import your own, or work with existing shapes.
2. Adjust: Move, rotate and adjust shapes freely in space. Use tools like the ruler to input exact dimensions.
3. Combine: Group together a set of shapes to create models as detailed as you want.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Now we need you to learn how to use it and create your own artistry. Its going to be awesome! I know it.
