THINGS I THINK I THINK

One of my favorite things to do when I have five minutes of down time is scroll the CLC facebook page and see what all of our libraries across the state are doing.  Everyone is so creative and doing such wonderful programs.  But there is one in particular I want to call out today.

And, I know I am biased.  I know that.

Still, I have to tell you all that East Hampton is killing it on facebook.  Check out the promo that they did for summer reading<https://www.facebook.com/EastHamptonLibrary/videos/754166999961079> and the one that they did for their new Transparent Language Learning Online resource<https://www.facebook.com/EastHamptonLibrary/videos/961695478762240>.    So good.  Check out their full page here<https://www.facebook.com/EastHamptonLibrary> for inspiration.

Have a good week,
Ellen
