Wednesday's SPLAT

We'll be playing our life-size Clue game. Ramen, apples, invisible Kool-Aid.

And I'll be throwing ideas for this summer at you - catch 'em or let 'em go.

How about "Get Fishy at the Library"? Vicki likes Splish-SPLAT! What do you think?

Summer Programming Theme/Name

We've been working on coming up with a name/theme for the Summer Teen Programming here at the library - now, I know, SPLAT means Summer Public Library Activities for Teens already (at least, in the summer) but we like to 'specialize' - we've had "That 70's SPLAT", "SPLAT-alot", to name two from the past . . .

Last year we used the official theme, Express Yourself at the Library, because the t-shirts were cool . . .

The theme is water this year, and the official theme is "Make Waves at the Library" - leaves me cold (and wet!) -

so: I need your ideas . . .

I'm partial to: "Splish-SPLAT" which keeps us 'wet', references a really old Bobby Darin song, yet still keeps SPLAT in the mix.

But we don't have to stay with a water reference at all.

Your turn:
