Featuring guest blogger Gordon-Bob, library fish extraordinaire.
Spring is ok, but I like summer. The truth is, I LOVE summer. First of all, (and most importantly), my birthday is during the summer- June 21st to be exact (but I'm sure you have that on your calendars). Summer is sunshine. Fish love sunshine. Summer is full of warm, tropical weather (something we suburban fish love to take advantage of). Summer is vacations and the beach (I burn, so I prefer to stay in the water) and making lots of memories with friends and family. I also love the summer because it means lots of FUN and transformation here at the library. Have you seen how our librarians decorate??? And for my part, I always try to be sure my fins are just the right color to match...
What's that? You want to help??? Well that is GREAT NEWS!!! On Wednesday, April 11 children are invited to come on down and create a super, dream-like decoration for us to hold and then display in the Children's Room during the summer months. There are three time slots available with age appropriate crafts for each. Let's fill up the whole Children's Room! Registration for the "Dreaming of Summer" craft begins on March 19. You can see more about the program here, or give us a call.
Hope to see you in the library soon!

One year ago this month my lifelong dream of becoming more than just your average fish came true! One day I was just swimming around in some random pet store tank and the next... SPLASH! I was plopped down into a crystal clear tank in the beautiful surroundings of the
Syosset Public Library's Childrens' Room. It has been a very fufilling and wonderful year for me.
First, I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify some nasty rumors that are being spread about me (this happens when you've reached fish celebrity status). I am NOT an impostor fish. I am the one, the only, the original library-fish extraordinaire, Gordon Bob Splash. Do not believe everything you've heard your parents tell you about pet fish. With proper care (and lots of TLC), we can live longer than a few weeks....
I'd also like thank the many happy kids who stop by to say "hi" and smile at me each and every day. You might think I can't hear, being under water and all (and my lack of ears) but that is simply not true. I hear everything (yes... everything!). I can also see how excited everyone is about the upcoming summer reading!
One World, Many Stories is this summer's reading club theme and you can be sure that the childrens' room has planned some fantastic programs and adventures for you!
Visit our newsletter online for details. Registration begins on June 20th for newborns up to to 5th graders. From crafts to storytime, from Lego club to campfire tales, there's something for everyone. (There's even a cool summer reading club for teens and adults). Don't forget, with your library card you can also
register for our programs right online from home .
Come and vist the library, (after you greet me with a warm hello), be sure to check out the wonderful books, movies, games and events waiting for you this summer!
Happy Reading!

I overheard Nadine say that it's Week 6 of
summer reading. Up until last week, I saw a lot of excellent things happening in the library. Lately, I haven't seen as much. Things have been a bit...well...hazy. I'll explain about the haze later, but first let me tell you what I
have seen...
Summer Reading has been in full swing. There's been raffle prizes and colorful stickie-dots, slap bracelets and beach balls, and lots and lots of smiling kids (some with fake mustaches) reading lots and lots of books!! As a matter of fact, it's been 4,032 books so far. Outstanding! There's also been tons of great programs like Malibu Tile Craft, Lego Club, Story Time, Baby Boogie, and Fishy Backpack (my favorite) with
more programs every week. It is really something to see here in the Children's Room....
Ehem...which brings me to my recent issue "seeing"... Well, many of you have noticed that my tank looks
a bit hazy. My water has taken on a peculiar green hue making it difficult for me to see out. It's also giving me bit of a
headache. :-( Amy and Catherine have worked very hard to clean my tank, replace the filter, and change the water, but still I remain in a hazy state. Hmmm.... I can't figure it out. If anyone is a fishy-expert and might have
advice on how to enhance my view, please stop on by and let one of the librarians know. They are taking suggestions!
Happy Splashy Reading!
