Message from Big Ryan


A man walked into a restaurant and asked for a lobster tail.

The waitress smiles and says “Well… I am no Big Ryan, but let me try. ‘Once there was a handsome lobster named Stan…'”

Great news as I have discussed setting up some Raising A Reader workshop dates with the Paul Pratt Library! Look for those dates coming up soon! This is another insanely busy week, which I love!
