Program Idea: The Amazing Space Race!
Idea submitted by Children's Librarian Peter Blenski
One of our library assistants suggested that we have a library mascot over the summer and hide it around the library, or around town, and that we take pictures of it. Many libraries do something like this on Facebook, and it’s a great way to engage with patrons. I liked that idea, but thought of a better way to fit it into the summer reading theme of “Universe of Stories”.
I asked my director to buy an inflatable astronaut suit. Inflatable suits are always hilarious, and are definitely eye-catching. It would also be something we could use it for school visits, story times, or just hanging out in the library.
Every Friday, we will post a picture to our social media of the astronaut somewhere in our village. The park, a local business, some place easily recognizable. Once it’s up, patrons will have a set amount of time to get to the location. Once they are there, they have to try and find the astronaut’s backpack. A staff member will be onsite to help open the backpack once it is found, and to ensure it does not walk away.
What’s inside the backpack will change every week! One week it will be a craft, one week it will be stickers, one week it will be photo booth props for selfies. We plan on putting more than enough supplies in there for everyone, so it’s not really a race. It’s more of a way to go on an outdoor scavenger hunt and engage with the library in a nontraditional format!
