A picture is worth a thousand words... but today, we only asked for one! 🎨📖

For #NationalDictionaryDay, we challenged our team to free-draw a word and write out its definition. Let’s just say some of them should stick to their day jobs, and others completely blew us away!

Which one is your favorite?

#DictionaryDay #PWPLibraries

[VD: A showcase of five-minute drawings of Dictionary words from various PWPL staff members. The words included are book, burst, creativity, octopus, and bookworm. The text at the end asks if we should draw something else again next month.]

Marianne: I'm trying to talk my (adult, wildlife conservationist) daughter in to joining me for the Bull Run (November 22): Year in the Life of an Owl program.

I am always a promoter of anything ESL/ELL, and we have a LOT to offer. I worked the nights that Chinn had their Literacy Volunteers English Conversation group. I often gave impromptu tours to the patrons, introducing the digital resources (Pronunciator/Transparent Language, the tablets, the Learning Express for classes and testing, and helping them to get library accounts!
