<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Happy Friday! I spent some time on the road in central Oregon this week visiting some of you. As always I’m so impressed with all the work you all are doing in your communities. I saw some great programming
and passive programs, and wanted to share these <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/10y4gXASK2IKQb68DaP3up9Zk4kt0S9I49aT9q-Mb8Dk/edit?usp=sharing">
end-cap games in Condon</a> – still up from summer reading because kids and families love playing with them! Shoutout to Deanna in Condon for creating these. Thanks to all I visited for sharing your creativity, joy, and challenges with me – there is really
never a dull moment in a library. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
