“On Thursday, February 18, 2010, libraries all over Connecticut will be taking a ‘snapshot’ – collecting information to capture the impact that Connecticut libraries have on their communities on a typical day.”

So we’ve planned some special programs and we will be recording statistics and taking lots of pictures.  Register for a program and help us provide a unique snapshot of our library!

Jenny was so mad
She didn’t know what to do
She put her finger in her ear
And crack’d it right in two

I’m sure this has some deep historical meaning, but right now it’s just puzzling!

More cow-related Googling…isn’t this a lovely image?  I was searching for cow poetry and found this accompanying “The Friendly Cow” by Stevenson in the January 1911 issue of “Primary Education”.
